+2hr decant.

Nose has black cherry, plum skin, raspberry, pink rose, wet earthy aromas and touch of alcohol.

Palate has rich, tart red cherry, tart blackberry, game or grass fed meat notes, light confectionery sugar on the long finish. Acidity is high, but smooth and very enjoyable, mouthwatering.

Very impressive bottle for just under $30, value delivered. Drink now or hold for 4-6 years. It's damn tasty, remaining bottles likely will not see 2021...In this household. — a month ago

That was a no brainer. Picked this one up for the store without a second thought! A pretty nose of wild strawberries. The palate is delicate with more wild strawberries plus white peach and a clean, mineral finish. Oh, and it’s organic. Oh, and it’s a woman winemaker. — 10 days ago
