    Pale salmon. Generous, intense red berry fruit and a hint of spice on the nose. On the palate, it is vibrant, spritzy and crisp with a lovely phenolic, grippy chalkiness on the finish. Herbal and slightly pippy, full of charming and joyous red fruit. While it clearly has the concentration for a more interesting wine, it is currently far too young, with the fruit straining against winemaking that aims for freshness over complexity.
