The nose is sort of not what I expected, I get melons, yellow fruit, clay soil, and a little bit of florality. The palate is more as expected, citrus, dry, acidic. Enjoyable on a hot day, not much more than that aside from an interesting nose.

Nose is baked red fruit and florality. Fruit is not there as much as expected on the palate. Finishes with a little chalky minerality. Great to drink fresh but palate is lacking just a touch to put it over the top.

Big juicy red fruit, a little bit of black fruit, black licorice, and floridity on the nose. The palate is not as intense on fruit, but is a bit more rustic. Red fruit is still there but it lends towards more cedar. A bit heavy and tannic but complex.
