Tons of plum with some hints of cherry. It was pretty dry, but not too much which I liked. There were some hints of pepper and some earthy flavors, too.

This wine has a very tight nose, with only a little bit of a funky bitter smell. The initial taste is a little bit harsh, and there is an overwhelming taste of lemon peel that just coats the palette. It's definitely serviceable, but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it again.

A very smooth wine with lots of flavor. There is a lot of citrus on the nose and I get a little bit of pineapple which I always like. The mouthfeel is really nice, again with lots of citrus. I also get a little bit of minerality on the back end. Overall this is a very enjoyable wine.

There was really nothing going on with this wine at all. It had a very slight citrus nose that almost reminded me of smelling lemon water. On the palette it was more of the same ... it reminds me of flat seltzer water mixed with aluminum foil. Very bitter lemony after taste, too. Definite pass on this one.

A very strong nose with some earthy scents and a lot of greenness to it. It was pretty intense on the palette with some jammy flavors and a bunch of green pepper. The finish was pretty weak.

It's an interesting nose with Tons of apple, and also a little bit of a turpentine scent going on.

There's a tinge of heat right at the start, but it melts away into a great, smooth finish. It totally excited my entire palette. It's very fruity with some green apple and pear flavors. Very well put together with a very strong finish. I could drink a whole bottle in one sitting because it almost drinks like a fruit drink. Reminded me a little of Berry Juicy Juice.
