Very nice value wine here. Don't let the screw cap and bargain shelf price tag scare you away.
A very pretty garnet color for starters. On the nose: creamy strawberries and raspberry with a streak of earthy minerality. There's a little bike tire inner tube as well but not in a bad way! It was a little delicate in it's interaction with air though. Lost some richness fairly quickly and became a little hot on the alcohol punch.
Bright acid is definitely the theme on the palate. I think of this as a somm's wine because it's unique, a little geeky, and very food friendly. Cranberry and rhubarb flavors predominate. Literally leaves your mouth watering with each sip.
Finishes clean with a late smokey wood note.
Drink now while young and fresh and pair with early courses like a spinach salad with candied walnuts, or anything with a crumbly sweet cheese on it.

Super tart green apple, light taste. Almost too acid for heavy food but fun.

Bright, fresh red fruit. Fun to drink on its own.
