P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, almost swtish frt met by tart acidity which carries its message through the fairly LONG, tart finish with occasional hints of swtness. Tight right now, this deserves into the Summer/Early Fall '18, then drinking into EARLY '21. My VG/VG+; 90 pts Dunnuck (5/22/19). [As of late Jan '20, wine-searcher still shows 1 source @ $15.95].
Note: 1st tasted on 2/24/18

P: LM, poss Med, body; RNDISH entry with niced oak/frt nicely counterbalanced by a tangy acidity which carries through the LONG, tangy/swt (70/30) finish with OCCASIONAL glimpses of honey. BEAUTIFULLY made for now & into if not through '20, + it could improve a bit into Summer '18. MY VG+ with EXC on the horizon! [While beatable, this vendor's $13.95 DOES seem competitive.]
