Fairly fragrant, light, elegant nose of cranberries and mineral, but with murky/muddy overtones. On the palate, thin, largely devoid of fruit or flavor of any kind with a leafy note on the back end. Not in a good place and I suspect this will not improve as it showed even worse on day 2. Meh.

This was a very solid wine that suffered in comparison to the Windy Oaks and Scherrer. There is lovely red fruit, no noticeable oak, and a vibrant acidic spine. The nose was not as expressive as I had hoped, but it didn't lack anything. It was enjoyable and would be very good with food.

Didn't enjoy this bottle as much as the last. A little too astringent and awkward.
