This is just so good, so friendly, and at such a great price I couldn't help but pick it as one of the wines I reviewed today. We tasted a line from this producer that were all exceptional, but you gotta pick your favorite and this was a favorite of the whole tasting. The nose is bright, high toned red fruit and just really pure all the way through, a cacophony of red swirling up at you and then becoming this single harmonious and beautiful thing, it's like raspberries, red cherries, rose petal, a little touch of hibiscus, and bright fresh alpine strawberries all just working together and sing out so prettily. The palate is bright and clean with a lingering sort of toastiness from some kind of oak, but nothing that ends up being disharmonious or out of whack, just a nice toasty finish at the end. It's just this really beautiful package and it makes complete sense with every sip. Just great.
