Fresh, bright, and easy. Expected more acid and crunch given the varietal. A cool wine but I wanted more high-toned aromatics, more energy. That aside a fun example of all the great things in Chile right now. Dark flowers, blood orange, pomegranate, mossy earth. Grippy tannin with a fresh profile, like freisa or dolcetto, digging how the play into the wine

Earthy, salty, sweet fruit and garrigue. Natural terroir expressing gorgeousness. Don't drink it too slow though, loses its charm 1.5-2 hours after opening.

Fine, graphite whole-cluster notes, boysenberry. Nice juiciness and a clean finish.
