The cork was in good shape, but I’m hoping this was just a bad bottle!

Ripe red fruit on nose. Medium-to-light body. Red fruit forward, dry, notable acidity.

Best Kaena I’ve had in recent memory. Delicious fruit with soft tannins and great balance.

Great wine. Long finish with a bit of oak. Looking forward to tasting it again after some cellar time.
