Überraschend guter Wein. Fruchtig mit leichter Würze, Duft nach Beeren. Am Gaumen angenehm fruchtig mit mittlerer Säure, dann etwas Bitterschokolade und Weihnachtsgewürze. Als Essensbegleiter gut geeignet, jetzt trinken. 50+4+11+15+5

Solomon Wines with Walker (Conference room) : Haven't tried this in about a year and a half. Bright cherry nose. Soft, with a touch of Earth. Good, but not great, or as nice as I remember. Did hold up well on Day 2.

I enjoyed this more than I expected. It is fairly light, pretty straightforward and maybe a little "pretty" with it's cherry and raspberry. Theres a spicy note at the finish. Not very tannic, moderate acidity. Easy to drink, and worth returning to at this price.

Very light, with cherries and raspberries on nose and palate. Fruit seems a bit unripe though. The wine is clean and faultless, but else than that, it is not offering much. No tannins to speak of. Not a wine to store for more than a year in your cellar. This is best when its young. An easy drinking party-wine without any complexity. Lots of better reds from Austria for the same price. - 83 points

Considering the favorable previous notes, maybe I was just in the wrong mood, but this wine just didn't do it for me. Deep purple color. Nose of raisins and yeast. On the palate, strangely hot and sharp for a 13% alcohol content, nicely acidic and spicy, but with an oddly thin sweetness that almost suggested aspartame. Virtually no tannins, short finish. To my palate, this wine tasted industrial and soulless.

I admit I was a bit sad to see this last bottle go...it ended up being a fantastic little wine with a very spicy character and surprising mid-palate depth for such an affordable quaff. Loved the Vino-lok, too!

Similar to 1st tasting notes, however this one displayed a bit of dusty earthiness as well as a spice that kicked up the interest a bit. Very nice wine, and for $15 this is a great buy.

There's been a lot of excitement about this wine around here, and I actually thought I was bound to be disapointed. But this is a fun little wine. Light on it's feet, this wine still carries a beautiful mouth feel. Agree with previous notes regarding hints of earthiness. In fact, there is an earthy naturalness about this wine that is quite enjoyable. Definitely worth the $15 to try out.

Fun and interesting wine. Very light all around, colour, nose, and taste. Very cru beaujolais-like. Nice floral aromatics with lightly crushed raspberries and cherries. The palate is refreshing with very nice acidity, fresh red berry fruit, and a light-medium body. Good.
