Very lite brown rose, yellowish orange rim color. Funky nose of walnut oil, house fire, cold soaked tea bags, earth spice. Very interesting nose...it does grow on you! Hey...in the mouth, not bad? Has a nice Pinot-ish plushness to it, with a little dried citrus acid lift. Lite bodied, yet has some oomph to it(but 12 1/2 alc), like a very old Zin. Again, some strange flavors on the palate....that walnut oil, dried roses, tea, fermenting dried berries, strawberry patch. Very much alive with some orange citrus acidity...but that smoky walnut thing is weird! An "interesting" wine! I kind of like it..in a weird kind of way.
