What Our Editors Thought
“Subtle grape notes on the nose evoke pinot noir sans skin contact—berry and earth but with a light vibrant energy that carries through in the flavor. Rich without heft or cloying, the chalky water dries it out in the finish.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Light wine notes and acidity in the aroma, some berry esters. Initial flavor impression is ‘too sweet.’ Acidity is restrained, and ‘wild’ complexity muted. Overall, captures the sweetness of grape juice without the complexity of wine.”
What the Brewers Say
“Made with negra criolla grape must. Aged in French oak barrels.”
