Delightful! A light bodied can franc with beautifully subtle textures and floral notes. Thankfully low 13.2% alcohol allowed expression in the most elegant of ways. A class act.

Ripe California raspberry and blue fruit. Pepper and herb. Astringent acid and tannic grip. A wine with a lot going on but slightly confused on how to express it. Maybe time could smooth it out.

Interesting mix on the palate; red fruits, crushed rock, funk, a little CO2, and a healthy dose of whole cluster spice. Fresh, unique, lively.
