Great one here. Very light and aromatic. Floral nose. Honeydew to start with a grassy finish. Not too sweet. Not to crisp. Real solid summertime wine. Paired very nicely with my broiled chicken with spicy mango salsa

This is a sleeper. Didn't expect much from a wine club. Actually pretty interesting. Not a bold cab by any means. Big fruit on nose and lilac. Same fruit to start. Dark plum with medium body. Finish is short with something of mossy soil. Taste some cocoa in there also. Really not too bad. Decanted for hour to loosen it up

Bright red in the glass. Jammy to nose. Start of tart bing cherries gives way to an overpowering oaky finish with a bit of charcoal. Acidity and tannins are a bit much for this selection. Possibly a bit young. Lack of balance is the killer here.
