Top Notes For
AJ Gubser

Underripe cherry, tomato, pencil shaving, bell pepper, dusty cellar. Fairly lean on the palate with slightly underripe red fruit, tomato, and stong mineral finish reminscent of Flintstone vitamins. Med+ acid and tannins which are fairly course.

I love this style, but I understand how the tannins and green notes could be off-putting for some. A bit thin and lacking a bit of complexity to be outstanding, but still very enjoyable and a good value.
