First time with this producer; very bright strawberry and cherry on the nose; cherry with a pastille like note, some floral notes with air; a bit tart, but with good freshness, seems tight and slightly disjointed at this early stage; would need to revisit

2021 Hundred Suns release (Flor Wines, Portland OR): The nose is well balanced and savory that shows off a darker quality to the fruit with raspberries, plum, black cherries, licorice, baking spices, toast, crushed rocks, currants, violets, and savory spice notes. The Medium/full bodied feel shows off an extra bit of heft while still possessing elegance with crisp, medium+ acidity and chewy, medium+ tannins. This will certainly benefit from a few years of aging. There is a lot to like already as it really plays into more of the bass rather than the treble.

Drinking great right now. Lots of fresh raspberries backed by some spice and earth notes. Really enjoyable.
