  10/14/2022 - Neecies Does not like this wine: 70 Points

  Purchased last week at the winery on the advice of our pourer, Danielle; a so-called 'library wine' in place of the current vintage which I had hoped to taste. I was on a tasting trip in the OK and buying only whites and cab francs. Opened last night: egads! Light red with an ugly jammy nose, medicinal-off flavors on the palate and ZERO varietal typicity. Undrinkable. The winery has no business selling a wine like this.

  Clear pale purple with a tinge of ruby. Aromas of Smokey raspberries, and blackberries Are present on the nose And on the palate. In addition, The palate includes hints of flint, campfire smoke. The flavours develop and finish with a mild to medium cedar box and hints of mild leather. This is a light red wine with medium acidity, low tannins And a long finish.
  
  Tasted at The winery in 2018: Notes were - “Light, fruit forward, (black berries, currants). Lovely light red, perfect for drinking now with lighter fare like salmon or chicken.” And I still agree. Paired well with mildly flavoured Greek food last night 😊👍
