Dried Strawberry Pomegranate White Pepper Tobacco Clove
TASTE PROFILE
Dry Medium-light Body Low Tannins Medium Acidity
The above characteristics from Wine Folly. Overall seemed a good representation of the varietal (new to me and at TW for 16$)….acid seemed a bit high but dried strawberry galore and some white pepper. Very light in the glass and body. Pretty good for something different but a little simple.

I thought this was lovely. Med+ body with + acid zing. Long finish with forest floor and a touch of mint in the background. Raspberries and gravel. Agree with the herbaceous quality in a good way. Seems to be a good cool climate representation of the varietal from south America. Oak is there but well integrated. Would gladly drink more. 14$ Costco

30$ Costco. Opened late at Xmas dinner due to other wine someone brought being a terrible wine… not flawed…just terrible (I mean really. It’s Christmas dinner…come on). Needed an extra hour but showed really well at 30 minutes. Initially a little tight and muted nose. Opened up to deep flavourful red cherries, spiced cranberries and polished tannins. Some blue fruit and no real noticeable vanilla thank goodness. as well as a blend of spices that started to sing at a hour +. Really delicious.
