Had higher hopes for this somm turned wine maker project. The fruit felt faint and the acid a bit over the top. Overall good wine.

Bright blue and purple fruits, excellent balance and and really tasty finish. Probably better in a year or two.

Berry, tart fruit and tobacco on nose... mineral and light fruit on the palate. Light tobacco on palate too.

Delicate nose, more floral than fruity with hints of rose petals. On the palate subdued red fruit, mellow acidity and soft tannins. Great pairing with salmon on a cedar plank.
