2017 Luzia de Ripa TXakoli de Alava-Arabako Txakolina- Yellow in color, fresh grape/lemon aroma, fairly tart lemon/lime flavors with a touch of sweetness. A bit like Pinot Grigio.


2017 Gentil "Hugel" Alsace- White blend with a pale straw appearance, lime/green apple scent with flavors of peach, key lime and lemon, plenty of acidity.


2016 Verbena Brunello di Montalcino- Almost opaque tawny maroon in color, jammy plum aroma, slightly peppery flavors of plum/blackberry/leather that leave a velvety finish.


2020 GD Vajra Dolcetto d'Alba- Deep maroon color, Blach cherry nose, a bit of white pepper to the dominant cherry and almond flavors, a touch of tannin.

Thanks If its a vintage with good acidity, the Hugel Gentil can be a useful wine (often on lists at places with inexpensive French wines). Vajra is very strong with the non Nebbiolo reds. Good notes
