August 3, 2022 - classic Prevost orchard fruit profile up front, decent bit of acid, but unfortunately mousy the finish. Unexpected from a Prevost wine, hopefully a one off.

Curious both your thoughts since I have had a few wines from this producer and have generally been fond of them, but I also know the margin for error can get much larger. Thanks!
