Wine Review: "Notes of tropical fruits intertwined with
lemon & green apple. A medium bodied palate with grapefruit acidity
supported by subtle fruit sweetness make for a crisp, fresh palate with a
lingering finish."
My Review: Peaches were strong on the nose, with a medium body. Slight hints of apricot and other citrus-like fruits. Mouth-watering, tasting like crisp peaches and medium acidity.

Wine Review: "This Pinot
Grigio has delightful, ripe fruit aromas of pears, apple, melon, and some
tropical notes of pineapple and banana. It has good balance, nice acidity, and
a long, fresh finish."
My Review: Tropical scents permeated with a hint of pear and fresh apples. Medium acidity with more citrusy flavors and an interesting finish.

Wine Review: "Deep, dark ruby
color, aromas of blue fruits, confectionery and subtle licorice characters,
thick luscious palate with good structure and soft finish. A blend of Durif,
also known as Petite Sirah, a grape known for its very aromatic, plummy
character. Rubired is a cross between Tinto Cao and Alicante Ganzin, known for
being particularly adapted to the hot climate and producing dark wines. And
Shiraz, which we all know for being the most recognized grape varietal of
Australia, brings some minty, spicy and fruity characteristics to the wines."
My Review: Darker berry aromas including blueberry and blackberry. Slight acidity, with spices and a slight minty flavor. A lighter finish than expected.

Wine Review: "Brought
up in a mix of concrete and stainless steel, the 100% Garnacha 2017 Garnacha de
Fuego offers a deep black/purple color to go with terrific notes of
blackcurrants, black cherries, scorched earth, and melted licorice. Ripe, sexy
and forward on the palate, with notable purity, it’s a classic Garnacha."
My Review: Immediately smelled raspberry and black cherry. Light tannins with a nice, smooth finish. Slight spices and a tasty raspberry flavor combined with an oaky smoke-like body make this a fantastic crowd-pleaser.

Wine Review: "Modest in alcohol, offering up notes of oranges,
melons and honey that are balanced on the finish. The price makes it a bargain."
My Review: Citrus smells combined with grapefruit and lemon. Medium acidity along with a combination of citrus, peaches and tropical fruits on the palette with a sweet finish.
