Light and juicy, gulpable but the fruitiness is enhanced by just enough savory earthy and herbal flavors to maintain interest. Crowd pleaser

Light, fun, delicious. The valdiguie is appropriately toned down with field blend and Syrah making it much more enjoyable IMO. Gulpable delight.

High toned red fruits and an energetic, minimal interventionist palate. Bright, tart, and earthy. This is tasty, it’s just lacking complexity at its price point.

Best Monkey Jacket yet. Fresh, but structured. Too easy to drink.
