Not nearly as good as their whites...herbaceous with underripe cranberry and some minerals

Charming, floral, bright. Remarkably drinkable despite its youth.

Soft, Sexy and sophisticated. This wine has beautiful textural depth with lots of dimension. Overdelivers.

Based on the bottle I'd wrongly assumed this was going to be pretty, clean, and flashy. If anything it's the opposite. Stemmy and underripe, cranberry, hibiscus, and herbaceous. Rustic and imbalanced, not nearly as charming as their whites.

Juicy cherries, baby bit of herbs, baby bit floral, clean and fresh, but definately a warm year wine. Thanks Ian Cauble!
