Very fruity and sweet, but also tart. Almost like effervescent welch's grape juice. Definitely benefits from aeration, helps balance the sweetness and tartness, but not a favorite.

MLF in Bottle. Effervescent. Bitter. Angular, out of balance.

Interesting field blend. Lots of fruit flavors, kind of "rustic", a lot going on. I need to try this again.

Same as prior TN's. ... nice bottle for this price point. Some dynamic qualities.
