Raspberry, slight peach, grape must. Very simple. Very sweet (duh) but doesn't have the acidity to balance it out. Might integrate more with some age, but then again, smoke taint might come out with age, given the major fires in 2020. Good wine, but just so.

coal smoke, lavender, lilacs, rich nectarine, yellow apple, lemon zest. Another smashing wine from Nik Weis. Super fresh and rounded profile, just coats your entire palate with gusto. The tension in this wine is just beautiful, with the rich fruit perfectly countered by this super fresh lazer beam of acidity. The acidity really feels electric, just a little tingle across your palate. Medium+ length of ripe yellow apple. Great complexity to boot? At this price ($25) just buy a case or two, should be drinking great for another 5-10 years.

Bright red cherry, slight strawberry, slight dried plum character, forest floor, dried herbs. Medium body, medium+ acidity, firm tannins. Great balance here, the fruit is kept in check with the earthiness, tannins are kept in check by the ripe fruit. Medium finish of dried fruit and herbs. Not the most concentrated, but still delivers good intensity.
