At the open: Smells of sweet fruit, dust, rhubarb, cold stones, and menthol Tastes of tart bramble fruit (strawberries) with high acidity
After 90 minutes: Smells of faint red fruit and earthy mildew Tastes of dark scratchy earth and light red fruit (raspberries)
Medium bodied
This is a very nice production, offering a more feminine side than the 2015, 2016, & 2017 Hardscrabble offerings. A Burgundian character to the palate with plenty of acid.

Crisp acid, which made the fruit burst, black currant, tiny bit of green pepper, fine tannins on the finish, intense aroma made me feel like I was at the winery.

Cedar box, stewed plums
A little bitey on the first day, mellowed nicely by day 2.
