Super bright and earthy CF that is so charming to drink. Great weight and density to the fruit. Juicy but not heavy handed. Pure and transparent earthy aromas/flavors. Love the fine and soft tannin profile. Lovely acid. Raspberry and black berry, wet tobacco leaves, violets, button mushrooms, potting soil.

Effusive aroma, a smidge of funk, tasty - crunchy cranberries & white mushroom.

Lovely nose, herbaceous, but not quite green. Awesome with a slow cooked beef stew.
