November 3, 2018 - Overall - Could be one of the best cool climate wines we’ve ever had. Opened at 55F and drank first glass within 10 minutes of opening. Second glass about 45 minutes later, slightly warmer.
A-deep purple-ruby with thin tears
N-Huge floral notes that are focused on rose, lilac, and iris with spicy hints of potpourri.
P- floral and rose notes lead with green notes and plum in the middle, and finishes with woody notes and spice. Acidity in the early to mid palate leads to late but well structured tannins that drive this wine into a long finish
F-hints is plum, saw dust, and floral notes linger for quite some time.
Wine is extremely complex while remaining light/medium bodied, but with enough backbone that all of the personality comes through boldly. Less subtle than a Pinot, but more subtle than most other medium bodied reds. Absolutely amazing, would buy at almost any price point.435 views
