This was really drinkable, good balance and youthfulness, not really any green flavors. I’d definitely get this again, especially at $17.

Likely too young. Light bodied with slight fruit, no acidity.

Tasting notes of dried herbs, iron, pepper with hints of tobacco and subtle sour plum flavors. Light and crisp with a nice long finish. Only enhanced by company...

Just like the taste and texture. Reminds of a picnic on the hillside of a vineyard long ago. No bite. Great with a meal or on its own.
