This 2023 has tangerine aromas, light and bright, yet wonderfully layered and balanced. It has that refreshing lighter feel of a white wine, combined with a bit of texture and body from a carbonic red. Perfectly dry, with initial notes of grapefruit, the fruit shines. Amber is the color of cantaloupe with a peachy nose. The palate shows Rainier cherry, pear, and apricot before a textured dry finish of grippy tannin and bright acids.
