sharon batley –
I found the whole bunch component in the 2018 obfuscated varietal character, but no such problem with 2019. 25 dozen made.
Light red colour. Strawberry, lightly poached rhubarb, spice, clay and green herb. Fine and aromatic. Light bodied, feathery and brisk, has crunch and energy, a little dustiness in texture, pulls tight and long on the finish. Delicious. Unforced and unafraid to be playful. 93 points
