Community Tasting Note

  April 10, 2024 - Even more ripe and Martinelli’s “apple cidery” than the previous bottle I had a little while back, this is a miss overall for me unfortunately. It’s in the good/not great category. As others have noted, precision and focused energy are lacking here. Too chewy for me at the end of the day. Not to be too critical, because this isn’t a bad swig necessarily if you’re not paying too much attention, but keep your wine geek hat off or you might be a tad disappointed. I really wanted to be captivated by this wine, but alas, it’s a triple “zzz” M. Night Shyamalan type of showing for me.
