  January 27, 2024 - From my Wife's wine club membership. Another match for them.
  This wine is about as light and refreshing as one could be. Experience is more like drinking a crisp white wine.
  Aroma is very floral and some rose or violet. Fresh Raspberry as well..
  Body light, bright acidity and crisp. Color is translucent red rose color, yet a little dull.
  Flavor is again raspberry and some cranberry.
  Refreshing to drink.

  November 19, 2023 - On day one, it's red fruited with Chinese peppercorn and bay leaf. Crunchy and savory on the plate with savory and soil undertones. Prickly acidity. All elbows and knees. It's less playful, more angular, and a bit more screechy than recent iterations.
  
  On day two this has rounded out, softened, and come into its ow nicely. Lovely red fruits, red licorice, bay leaf, desert herb, more peppercorn and some pretty dried florals. Much better on day two. Quite long. Outstanding on day two. 90 on day two, not so much on day one.
