Pencil shavings, raspberry, chalky minerality and nice acid.

Really fun wine. Carbonic?
Mineral freshness, cherries...maybe a little thin, but goes down easy.

Cherry, asphalt. Crisp and clean. Some cellaring really smoothed out this wine. Love it more now 8/23

Green bell pepper, jalapeño, low tannin and medium plus acid. Fairly fruit forward in spite of the strong pyrazine smell. Definitely young, 2015 could stand to age a few more years!
