Gold in color with green hues. The nose has seltzer, limes and a scent that many of us trying thought cannabis. On the palate, this lacks much acidity. Lime fruits with a bit of candied lemon. Moderate finish. It is tasty and easy to drink. Drink over the next couple of years. Nice on its own, this will work well with lighter salads.

Nice on its own, this would work well with grilled lamb chops.
This was a very popular wine among friends. Inky purple in color. The nose has black raspberries, roasted herbs, slight roasted meats and black pepper. On the palate, juicy black raspberry fruit.

Medium to full bodied. Medium tannins. On the palate, cassis, black cherries, spice and slight char. Slight heat on the finish. This is young and needs some air or cellaring to sort out. Hold for as couple and then drink for ten after that. It would pair nicely with brisket at a
