Like most $11 wines from NakedWines.com I came into this with essentially zero expectations and was going to pawn it off at a tailgate on some people who don’t care. Then I ended up hogging the bottle because this Level 185 is definitely leveling up! I loved this little guy for the price. Smells like tomato vines and a freshly watered garden. Beautiful texture and body, great structure. Nectarines and grapefruit. Kind of changes my NakedWines opinion a bit…

Gold. Bright. Slightly off dry. Big flavors. Real crowd pleaser.

Quite sweet with lots of fruit. Needs to be quite cold for my taste.

Complex fruit notes. Pineapple, papaya, grapefruit come to mind. Soft mineral notes. A little bit of jasmine. Acidity is pretty much spot on. Medium bodied. More mineral on the finish.
