While an older vintage, it’s done a great job keeping alive. Minerals, oxidization, dried apricots, and pears really make this an enjoyable experience to drink at a Bluegrass festival!

Yay sinskey! Opened up nicely after a little bit, subtle white stone fruits and candied citrus, but alcohol stuck out a lot for me

Has been one of our favorite for years...fresh flowers on the nose, flavors of butterscotch and citrus. Slight carbonation feel. Great summer wine!

Not as fun or interesting as I had anticipated. Tasted over three days.
