May 1, 2021 - Very light in color - midway between a red and a rose. Blind, I might pin this as a Pinot Noir, but an unusual one. It's lighter in body (and color), but a bit more substantial in tannin structure.
Bright, light, elegant, graceful, subtle. But not boring or quiet or subdued - this is a very nice, enjoyable, balanced wine. Red fruit, like a juicy ripe watermelon. Strawberry. Medium tannin backbone that gives it heft. Spice - ginger? Gentle white pepper? Cinnamon?
Seek this out. It’s different and quite good.3 people found this helpful 1,452 views
