February 26, 2024 - Pale rose in glass, transparent! Floral, earth and dried berry nose. Silky tannins and balanced acidity. Straw berry cobbler with coastal floral influence. Served with Nashville hot pork chop!

July 2, 2022 - Purchased from GF winery in 2021. We opened Two bottles of this in one night. Decanted one for 2 hrs while we PNP’d the other. Extremely translucent in color. Showed some brick on the rim. Initially the wine was powerless. Nice balance but little on the nose and palate. Over time though it really started to open. Especially at the 2 hr mark. Extreme cherry cola on the noise. Juicy Strawberry and cherry with some candied brown sugar or cookie dough. Nice light acidity. Finishes very lightly on the back. Drink up.
