This may be mistagged, maybe Demming is a new site in the past few vintages?
Slight pink tinge. Nose of creamy pear, macerated strawberry. Softly structured. Wish this had a bit more acid spine.

Bravo @crusewine! Basically tastes like dry-ish watermelon and cherry jolly ranchers, which is delicious. Pretty pink floral smellies too. Just make more of it next year! One of the most successful American pet-nats I've had.

2014. On a scorcher like today I really want to drink a wine that you only need a beer bottle opener to access.

If you can let the wine linger in the glass a bit, a beautiful bouquet of bright red fruit aromatics emerge and you never want to take your nose away. But good luck getting to this point. This wine is way too gulpable with a candied palate leaving behind flavors of cherry, strawberry and watermelon. Wow! So in love! Thanks, @Michael Cruse!
