Agree with G. A. Parker, the earthy/cedar profile leads this wine and is quite beguiling. Maybe for US palettes this is appreciated by wine nerds so understand the region, climate and style going in. A lovely find from a region not known for their reds. This producer makes a Pinot Blanc that is outstanding!

An unfortunate purchase. I didn't check CellarTracker beforehand so kind of happy to see I'm not alone in my opinion. Funky notes to start that blew off, followed by enough tartness that we didn't really think this was drinkable even after 2ish hours in glass. Switched to something else early on.

Brick red to brown in color. Had a medicinal cherry cough drop thing going on that blew off after a few minutes in the glass. Bright red fruit, blood orange, tea leaves, and cinnamon. Really nice mouthfeel with well integrated tannins. Good QPR, would buy again.
