Expert Review: Bright orange-pink. Lively, mineral-tinged
aromas of fresh red berries, orange peel and honeysuckle, with a hint of anise
building in the glass. Dry and nervy in the mouth, offering vibrant strawberry
and orange pith flavors and a suggestion of rose pastille. The floral element
comes back on the finish, which lingers with very good spicy persistence- 90-
Stephen Tanzer
My Review: The wine was light rose in color. On the nose, it
smelled sweaty and moldy with hints of lemon acidity. The prevalent flavor was
the alcohol as it was quite hot. The spicy pepper came through in the after
taste with hints of acidic lemon and grapefruit. Overall, this was not a
pleasant wine.
Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at
the Vintage Cellar.
