  6/22/2023 - Kayaklady Does not like this wine: 50 Points

  This is the worst wine I have ever tried. So very disappointing as I really like this winery's Tannat and assumed their Malbec would be good. I could not drink it. I tried on night one and restoppered it, again on night two and nights 3 before finally washing it down the sink. Its hard to describe but the aftertaste is just awful - medicinal.

  10/13/2022 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 89 Points

  Retail $45. Stupidly. Big. Ass. Bottle. Honestly? This is one of the heaviest bottles I have ever encountered. Holy crap is this an environmental disaster not to mention a potential health risk (torn rotator cuff anyone?). Trying to get past the recklessness of the bottle, this is actually a pleasant wine with plenty of red and black fruit (albeit heavily extracted) with black cherry cola and spice. The palate is all about the fruit, which is black-cherry Kool Aid a go-go and plenty of tartness. Look, this wine goes through a lot of manipulation (cryogenically frozen, e.g.) and is put into a really stupid bottle, but somehow I like this wine.
