Hmm. There was a tag under this bottle saying 90 points from someone. I thought it was WE or WS. I sincerely hope not. This wine is drinkable, yeah, but not at all balanced. Too acidic and too fruity at the same time. I didn’t finish my glass and the rest of the bottle is in the fridge, waiting for me to learn how to cook coq au vin.

The bottle had all the right notations: ”estate bottled,” alcohol less than 14%, vineyard has a proper name… but the results just don’t stack up to my palate. To be fair, there is bright fruit hiding in this bottle, but beneath a sharpness I couldn’t abide. The most curious thing was I could swear I was tasting garlic in the finish. And then I noticed: the winery is in Gilroy.
