I really wanted to appreciate this wine, but there just wasn’t enough there. Not outright flawed but some definite funk, and just not enough other goodness to carry the wine.

Not gonna lie, upon opening it sort of smelled like using a matchstick to cover up manure. Luckily sulfur notes blew off with some time to reveal cranberry, tart cherry, wild strawberry notes, a pleasant amount of manure, mushroom, and violet perfume. Easy drinking with sneaky complexity; light in color yet medium bodied on palate, with a sour cherry candy finish.

Barnyard smell at first. Lots of cranberries and ripe red fruit. Durable, but with a light finish.

Tastes like cran-raspberry juice! Tangy, fun to sip. Good light summer red. Thanks Emily, bb!

Straight up ocean spray cranberry cocktail. Delicious. Great with a 1 hr chill. Summer porch pounder.
