Warm, with some juicy red fruit, sharp spices - think white pepper and Chinese 5 spice - and dark chocolate. Tannins are balanced and finish is medium. Seems like a decent table wine for hearty food, but simple for the price.

Beautiful golden hue. Fruit is somewhat attenuated. The aforementioned apricot, peach, lemon-lime, and I also get some fresh green grass on the lasting finish. What really makes this stand out is the full, round mouthfeel and funky smoke tang. Creamy and buttery, but I don't feel this is overoaked. It seems well put together for the style it's going for.

Clear, violet-red color. Fresh, austere, a little tart, a little floral, a little earthy. Classic style. If you like simple Burgundies this will probably appeal.
