Top Notes For

Production Burn Cottage Vineyard

8.5

I was a bit underwhelmed by this one, and it may have been a slightly off bottle. The fruit on the nose came and went with time. Cherry sour punch straw candies, flowers(more violet than the typical rose), and a bit of the earth/tar nebbiolo is known for on the palate with a bitter/phenolic character on the mid palate.

Color holding up surprisingly well. Plenty of acid and resolved soft tannin.
