Community Tasting Note

  • WineBurrowingWombat Likes this wine: 95 points

    December 17, 2023 - Hard Seltzers vs. Hard Liquor vs. Wine: N: Aromas lean towards tropical aromas of deep and earthy pineapple, and scents of whole guavas. Bales of hay, a sprinkling of lime zest, and notes of washed stones.

    P: Imagine if there was a hybrid fruit that was a crossbreed between a pineapple and a cantaloupe, having the fresh crispness of a pineapple while also having the comforting, ripe cantaloupe flavors. Freshly cut green grass brings the swiftness on the palate down a bit, without completely slowing everything down. Light notes of damp neutral oak, prickly tree bark and bitter minerals on the finish.

    Great balance here while still delivering a deep pitch of flavors. The deep flavors of this chard somehow manages its flavor profile that isn't heavy or weighty in terms of flavor and body. Restrained freshness, enough to stay exciting.
