Fruit forward flavors of strawberry and raspberry, Christmas spices, medium-minus acidity and some green stick tannin that are just slightly out of balance. If the wine has some time to put on weight it’s going to be exceptional. As it is now - it’s yummy!

Soft and lovely - dark fruit and brambles. Not Fleurie-like, but easy. Turns a little dully sour near the end of a rather lengthy finish. Well worth the double sawbuck.

This has been a wonderful surprise - rich with great depth. Solidly minerality, balanced acid, macerated cherry, balsa wood and cinnamon. Weird combination but it works. Long finish.
