This semisweet wine from Georgia exhibits bright red berry and cherry aromas and flavors, and a layer of woodsy, earthy spice and herbs. The combination of sweet and savory makes for an interesting sip, but it might be a touch exotic for traditionalists to fully embrace.

Made from the indigenous red grape Saperavi of Georgia, this attractive wine starts with hot spice and red berry fruit on the nose, then unfolds into a soft combination of sweet fruit and earthy spice. There’s still an underpinning of rustic terroir character here, but overall, the wine is pretty and appealing.

Saperavi has its wild side—high acidity, exotic, incense-like spice—and this Georgian red is true to that variety. Its aroma is lovely but on the palate the wine is a tad too angular. The premise is good and the fruit nice, so pair it with food and the wrinkles will iron out a bit.

Semisweet with grapy, red-cherry flavors, this has a strain of acidity that keeps it from becoming too sappy. Earthy spices unfold nicely, but the wine could use a touch more tannin and dimension. A fun and character-driven dip.
