This wine was held too long. Nevertheless, there was still enough fruit to make the experience pleasant. A weird and wonderful blend of red and white grapes that makes for a great summer afternoon.

My short-hand, because I know for myself what it means, is "elegantly rustic luncheon wine". In terms of body, "light" is the original impression, with a surprisingly strong finish given the initial front-end impression. Still drinking quite well, CT drinking window notwithstanding. Good fruit / acidity balance. Previous reviewer makes a good point - this would probably be even better slightly chilled (emphasis on "slightly").

It may be the perfect summer quaff. Am I geeking out over it? No. It's not challenging me in any way. There's something to be said for delicious though. This is delicious.

Another fizz-free bottle, which allowed it to show its gentle, rosé-like richness and intrigue. Still a fan.
