Immediately exciting and overwhelmingly expressive. Tobacco and white pepper aromas explode on the nose with great acidity continued through the finish. Compared to Burgundy/Pinot in this price (which can often be too light to be satisfying for more new world drinkers), this offers more for less.  One of the best values I have tasted recently.

Fun. Ripe cherry, distinct mezcal like fruit on nose (agave, warm fruit, some alcohol) pretty lush outside of a slight powdery finish.
