Wine Enthusiast review: 82 points (Acceptable) - "White-flower aromas carry the nose and lead to a simple palate of yeasty flavors that that are low on fruit intensity."
My review: Placing labels on the flavors of this wine proved to be challenging for me. I was unable to pick up its fruity aromas - to me, it expresses hints of cedar and a unique smokiness on the nose and palate, reminiscent of a campfire. Initially I described its flavor as "robust," but in true wine-linguist terms I'd say medium-bodied and complex (at least for me). I think a good alternative name for this would be "If You Could Drink a Tree." Which, if you're into that sort of thing great, but personally I wouldn't buy this for my own collection. However I'm glad I was able to try something so different and far-off from the wines I've been tasting!
I tasted this wine without food.
