Thursday, April 30, 2015 - Greet Adira and small BYO at our place, round 2 (Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, NYC): Fresh and bright on the nose. Subtle but perfumey. Aromas of strawberry, smoke, spice, red flowers. Bright on the palate - red berry fruit, great snap. Berry and earth finish. This is delicious, it manages to have a great deal of sweet fruit, but still comes off very serious. Nose - 5-5.5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 16.5-17/20.

Very subjective, I can certainly see how it would be delicious to other folks. I reacted to it a little bit the way non-cilantro people react to that herb (not the same way, as in tasting like soap, but as in just really not quite my cup of tea). I look forward to seeing how this winery evolves, because it was definitely a worthwhile and striking wine.
