This is jumpy on the nose, with raw oak, green notes and zest. Aromas of earth, blueberry and wood don’t fully come together, while the palate is acidic and cidery in feel. Slightly underripe flavors of cranberry and blueberry run counter to the vintage, which was warm and generous by RDD standards.
