Yes light and fresh, with some earth. Very turbid.

13.5% alc.
Unfined/unfiltered (and it shows).
Gifted to me so I don't know for sure but believe this can be had for $20 at the winery.
If so - back up the truck....

Bright high toned cherry and cinnamon. Fresh and juicy, if a little disjointed.

Very mushroomy. hints of tangy cherry with a slight spicy nose. The palate has a super yummy plum taste! The color is a slightly darker than most Pinot's. Has a slight hotness on the finish.

Conversation centered on why you wouldn't filter this wine...i liked it, thought it had great edge.

Another from our summer trip. Running low, so time to head back.

Quite cloudy, almost dirty color. Clearly unfined and unfiltered.

The aroma that really jumps out of the glass and typifies this wine is that of roses. Very floral. Tea rose specifically, with a slight perfume edge, so it tends to remind me of my grandma, which is a good thing!

The fruit component is sour cherry and cranberry.

Acid is present but there's just a little liveliness missing for me. Not flat but just a little... lazy? If that makes any sense?

A touch of pepper spice on the back end, short finish. Could be a good pairing wine for something really specific but I'm not exactly sure what. Maybe a pork loin with a cranberry sauce...something like that.

Decent, interesting... Not award winning or anything but worth a look!
