Lovely Floral, earthy, perfumed nose. Lively and perfumed on the palate, with earthiness, red berry flavors, and some nice acidity. Beautiful, fairly subtle layers of flavor. Medium body.

Freisa, a relative of nebbiolo with a bit more rusticity and development, but a super enjoyable wine

Continue to really dislike Freisa. Some stewed berry, but thin, abrasive, tannic, with a hint of plywood.
