In a good drinking window and as noted by other reviewers, at a good price point. Completely enjoyable. But, really does take time to open up, and even then it's more like the 'Ocean Spray' than a taste that is distinctive to the terrior. I'd read reviews suggesting that this was an excellent example of the power of the region, and while I agree that it has some aspects of a unique flavor, it didn't overwhelm us at the level that I'd expected. Still, an excellent buy, and fun to taste.

Very light depth of color showing a ruby rim with minimal extraction. Very aromatic and clean on the nose with cranberry and cherry, lots of floral notes, some mineralogy, minimal oak. On the palate fresh acidity, a moderate amount of flesh on the mid palate, moderate amount of very fine tannins. Balanced wine with short length, good aromatic intensity that fades on the palate, good complexity. Drink now. Good value for its style.

Good entry level Burgundy. Still very primary and lean. Fermented red cranberry juice with a tart finish. Good, not great.
