Shockingly light color. I was looking for a light red to go with a bright grilled chicken dish and this fits the bill. Fresh cherries and bright stony minerality. Fresh and crisp in the mouth. Zingy!

Medium Ruby, crisp acidity, pleasant red and black berry fruit: raspberry, wild strawberry, red cherry, forest floor, red plum, black cherry, subtle truffle and leather. The wine seems light bodied but that’s a little deceptive because it is fresh and long lasting on the palate. Good with salmon, pizza, grilled meats.

Quite a different personality from its predecessor in 2016. This one is hyper floral with scents of geranium and damp rose petals, followed by what I can only describe as a candied maraschino cherry quality on the nose. The palate developed a more defined profile with a full day of aeration, showing crunchy cranberry, fresh thyme and hints of underbrush. Decidedly more delicate than the previous two vintages, but with striking character and nuance. Excellent with seared salmon.

Drank slightly chilled on the balcony overlooking the ocean. Perfect pairing. Nice acidity, bright cherries and strawberries with some interesting salinity/minerality.
