Tuesday, January 16, 2024 - Didn’t love this, a bit out of balance, may be a little too much acidity, very tart. Cloying.

The wine is rich and deep, but not sweet which is what "cloy" is often used to describe. We thought his was integrated but fruit-forward, so right in line with the new-world style. We enjoyed with out homemade pepperoni pizza, so very much a food wine.
