This is a terrific Lessona. Delicate and lacy, but with sneaky flavor intensity. Earthy faded roses and light cherryish fruity scents on the nose. On the palate, it’s got concentrated flavors of crushed-stone-infused barely ripe wild cherry, with zingy acids and super-fine grained tannin. Think Volnay but with Nebbiolo grapes. So good.
