Nose: lime and violet, like young gamay or cool climate syrah. It shifts in mouth into complex cherry, berries, cassis, and slight hint of cinamon. Nice minerally texture and persistemt acidity are keeping it lively. Probably a bit too limy and metalic now? Would be interesting to age further for a year or two. 88-89.

Got a bad bottle. Slightly effervescent and very acidic. Doesn't happen often but once in a while. From the other community notes, it sounds enjoyable, not in my case.

Fairly light, earthy, very easy to drink. Beaujolais-style berries with good acidity. Aromatics and finish are not very robust or complex, but the wine is delicious to drink.

Dark and bright mixed berries. Lean muscular body. Nice darkness and some tannin on the finish. $36 off the list at Ripple.

Lovely light and gulpable but with a dark and sultry aspect. Always dig these Ventura wines. $36 off the list at Ripple, x2.
