2016 from Costco.

Enjoyed without aeration. Light refreshing hint of oak, apricot, and cocoa on the nose. Thin texture and very low levels of tannin. Delicate wine with a just a touch of spice. Toasted waffles on the exhale after consumption. I definitely recommend salty foods over sweet to contrast against the light flavors of this wine if pairing with food. The flavors open up at room temperature, and honestly, I enjoyed this wine at room temperature more than chilled.
