Ohhh, tasty. Opens with sassafras and vanilla. Even better with air, macerated fresh strawberries. Rose stems-or budding rose. A hazy-translucent ruby. Medium to light bodied. Good acidity. Will age well for 15.

Light and acidic. The more time in my glass, the more I enjoyed. Red fruit. Tart. Would love to try this again in a couple of years.

Strawberry-rhubarb, anise, dried leaf. On palate, structured fruit and earth. Long finish.

Vanilla and casis along with red cherry on the nose. Some floral notes; rose petal. Dark cherry on the palate really blasts the drinker. Nice acidity; we’ll rounded.

A better nose than palate. Aromas of flowers, tea leaves. A bit thin in the mouth. I think I prefer the Chardonnay from this vineyard.
