I can see how the OG would be a controversial wine. Tons of creamy oak and butter, with bright red fruit. Has a slightly raw or green edge to it that ends up actually benefitting the wine.

Unbelievably dynamic nose with bright strawberry and a kind of air freshener thing. Palette brings nice acidity, some charred notes and blueberries that transitions into a long long finish
