Found one last bottle of the 2017 for a retasting. Salmon pink, excellent clarity. Black and white pepper notes in nose. Pepper and stone fruit flavors in mouth, slight spritz, dryish, lemon-citrus finish, light fine-grain skin astringency. Cherry and pink grapefruit flavors emerge after 30 minutes.

Light golden pink, excellent clarity. Red fruit and a hint of herb in the nose. Stone fruit, cherry and later pink grapefruit in mouth, dry, moderate skin astringency that disappears with a bit of aeration. Subtle, nuanced flavors. A nice example of restrained, minimalist winemaking - just shows what's there in the fruit, gentle handling but "whole cluster pressing" (says the label); otherwise, no reliance on added frills like malolactic or heavy skin contact (assuming I interpreted the wine accurately).

Lucky enough to be tasting there before this was announced as available & it was already selling fast. Not too dry, not too sweet. Just right! 12.3% abv
