  November 18, 2022 - An extremely interesting varietal. Muted nose, slight raspberry. Like others mention, it is very light, but not pink, darker than a rose. Palate is very simple, but in its own way very delicious. Serve chilled for a different light red. Not much acidity or tannins but still tasty on its own or with food.

  September 26, 2022 - Extremely translucent, almost dark rosé looking with a watery ring. Nose is of bright red fruit, dried roses, cedar, wet clay, and faintly vegetal. Extremely light bodied, lower acidity that I expected with very little tannin. Reads really similar to a gamay. A little bitter on the finish. Easy drinking and not overly complex. Probably needed to be opened a year or two ago.

  September 15, 2022 - Youthful and fun
  As so, the love is fleeting; short-lived
  Perfect with a slight chill and sharing as an aperitif
  
  Don't get me wrong,
  I would drink the whole bottle in a heartbeat
  
  Light red w muscular acidity
  Fun candy cherry

  July 2, 2022 - Chilled for 15m. Bottletop aerator. Pale, translucent, strawberry color in the hanging decanter. Buttery, Chardonnay-like on the nose. Bubble gum as well that moves onto the palate. White pepper, bright cherry, strawberry, grippy tannins. Lingering tannins. Wine for cooking pizzas in the backyard oven on a hot, humid day.
