Red fruit with a heavy dose of funk on the nose. Orange and citrus notes up front mixed with the typical red fruit and a rough graham cracker / earthy middle. Nice mouthfeel and long finish with a good acidic kick, med-plus

Nose smells off - coin polish and a bacterial/lambic/sour beer smell.
Palate: Balanced, but I can’t see past the lambic notes. Many people in the room liked this, though one older gentleman said he too was put-off by the first whiff. Score: Around 6. Seems like faulty winemaking to me. $30

Has rounded out quite a bit, still with the blood orange up front and good acidity

Taste with Rootstock at FHE.
Pretty, earthy, subdued and lighter. Cranberry, earth, moderate body. Blood orange and some pink flowers.
