Very good. Not a ton of MLF or oak taste which I prefer. Tropical fruits (guava?), peach, toast, citrus, minerals, and oak. Great balance among all this. Went really nicely with a rich fish dish. Had a pleasant med+ finish. Everyone enjoyed.

Tasted blind. Nice and light. Misdirection because of the earthiness and red fruit, you’d almost believe it was a pinot ?? delicious of course and could use more time for sure. Also it didn’t smell of American oak to me which threw me off. But it makes sense as we later found out it’s aged in both French and American oak.

Good casual bottle. Worth the money but a bit lacking in fruit and finish. Excellent balance otherwise and super pleasant. Great pre-meal bottle.
