  7/30/2023 - Delund Likes this wine: 90 Points

  Half hour of air prior to serving. Initially thought of serving it around 60 F per winery recommendation, but chilled the bottle a bit and the fruit on the palate concentrated and showed much better at 55 F or so. Bright ruby color. Fragrant nose of savory sweet red fruits (Raspberry and Plum). Low-to-Medium acidity pretty well integrated for such a young wine. Extracted delicious raspberry fruit on the palate, with earthy herbal notes. Medium-bodied, lingering finish. Very pleasant wine, if a bit simple. Can't see this aging well, but very quaffable, food-friendly and great QPR. Chill a bit and drink now.
