Extremely simple but pretty good for a $12 Marlborough SB, not as expressive and precise as some, but better balanced than others. A little bit of grassiness without being underripe, faint tropical fruits, good crisp acidity that could be a little brighter but still works just fine. Typical and predictable, I enjoyed it, but I feel like spending just a few extra bucks on one of these can get you so much more.

Pale straw with green hues
Funky, black pepper, pastrami cured meat brine, salt, bay, mustard

Wet dried Mexican oregano or creosote
Medium acidity, light body, dry
Long at first but that faded Upper back palate finish
