Ovum Wines · EZY TGR · Red Table Wine · Oregon, USA · 2023
The Moment
This is the bottle you open when you want red wine without weight — playful, vibrant, and meant to be poured cold. It’s a wine for sunny afternoons, impromptu snacks, and nights where the second glass comes faster than the first.
What It Feels Like
The nose is immediate and joyful. Cherry Jolly Rancher leaps from the glass, followed by sage and sweet wild herbs. As it opens, the aromatics shift toward strawberry black tea, pomegranate, and bay leaf — bright, herbal, and unmistakably alive.
On the palate, the wine is light to medium-bodied with a creamy texture that still feels definitively red. Bing cherry and raspberry skin lead, joined by a subtle, earthy note of roasted beet that adds depth without seriousness. There’s a surprising mineral snap here — clean and stony — that keeps the wine energetic and refreshing.
The finish is clean and uncomplicated, fading with a satin-like softness that invites another sip without asking for attention.

Why We Love It
EZY TGR is Ovum’s love letter to chillable reds. Inspired by Portuguese palhete wines and made with a co-fermented blend of white and red grapes, the 2023 vintage is bright, expressive, and effortlessly drinkable. Low-intervention, organically farmed, unfined and unfiltered — this is serious thought wrapped in an easygoing pour.
