NatDiego - 2018. Probably not fair to rate this at room temp on a hot day, but nice potential with some more time. Like oysters, should be consumed in a month that has an “R”.

Fresh, crunchy blueberries and strawberries with some black pepper and moist soil. Medium acid, low tannins, slightly chilled and super crushable... perfect with burgers. Simple, refreshing, and delicious.
