eye: a little more depth of color than your standard pale lemon
nose: green apple, white peach, pear, herbal bouqet
palette: dry, low alcohol, high acid, light body, long mineral finish
overall: the herbal nature and long finish keep this wine rather interesting
— a year ago

eye: pale ruby core toward a water clear rim
nose: bright pomegranate, rose bouquet, tomato leaf, fresh red cherry, slight savory touch
palette: light body, medium+ acid, low tannin, relatively low alcohol at 12.5%
overall: a summer red for when you get tired of whites/rosés — a year ago
nose: lovely fragrance of spiced baking apples, pastry shell, orange citrus, slight nuttiness
palette: high acid, very well-structured, long finish
overall: very impressive — a year ago
nose: it took a bit to open up fully before becoming heavily aromatic with floral notes alongside almond, orange, tart green apple, and honeysuckle — a year ago
nose: aromatic, wet slate, touch of fresh garden hose, white peach, lime citrus backbone
palette: a bit fuller than initially expected, high acid, honeyed stonefruit that was hidden to me on the nose, slightly mineral finish that lingers
overall: a cheap, screw-off liter bottle that overperforms — a year ago
