  This was a poor showing... started with an overwhelming briny, green olive note that was nearly undrinkable... eventually subsided to a funky, earthy, but still lifeless wine. Lacked fruit or freshness. I left their wine club for just this reason, outside the Viader proprietary red, I do not think these bottles justify their price (this one was $50).

  A bit on the light bodied side. Stands up well to a pizza. Has a slight lingering fizz to the finish. A hint of blackberry with a very slight pepper note. Fun to drink on a cool, purposeless, day.
