Vintage Cellar Review: Rosé salmon with copper reflections. Slow rising fine bubble that forms “lace” and “rosary”. In the nose is complex and elegant with red fruit, citric, exotic, fresh flowers, and notes of dry fruits and dry flowers. Fresh, gentle, and alive. Perfectly integrated “perlage” with serious and subtle flavors of dry fruits, pomegranate and lemonade. Long lasting scent of flowers and herbs.
My Review: This was a dry but well balanced wine with a quick finish. It was not fruity and thinking back, it didn't have much flavor after having a bit of apple on the nose. Regardless, I enjoyed this wine.
I tasted this on its own with no food.

Vintage Cellar Review: Fresh in flavor and crisp in texture, this dry rosé offers berry, tart cherry and light herbal flavors, with firm acidity and a clean finish. Focused and juicy.
My Review: This wine was fruitier and sweeter than the Brut Vino, as expected. I tasted a variety of berries in this wine and it had a quick finish.

Vintage Cellar Review: Peach, orange cream and vanilla flavors mingle in this softly bubbly white. Off-dry, but with crisp acidity and a clean finish.
My Review: This wine had orange and vanilla both on the nose and in the taste. I enjoyed the soft bubbles. It tasted a bit like an orange creamsicle; it had a creaminess aspect to it. This wine was very easy to drink.

Vintage Cellar Review: Superb dark garnet color with a few reflections of dark orange. Intense nose of ripe fruits, spices, and roasted coffee. The palate is rounded and full, with silky matured tannins and hints of vanilla. This wine is rich and powerful with layers of tannins.
My Review: This wine smelt a bit diry at first. At the beginning I got a whiff of asparagus which somehow turned into a coffee smell. The wine was dry but not tannic and tasted bitter and earthy.

Vintage Cellar Review: Stout and dense from the beginning, with blackberry and violet aromas. Despite being a bold and dark Malbec, this is fresh and composed, with sweet blackberry and cassis flavors. Good on the finish, with candied fruit and caramel sweetness.
My Review: This wine impressed me with it's color- it was red and violet and deep. The wine was fruity and tasted like berries. Not to tannic or dry- easy to drink.
