Jen's Notes

Lighter in body, with subtle flavors and a dash of acidity. A little subtler than I like (!) actually, but pleasant and a decent value. Palate includes rosewater on entry, with cranberry over earthy and herbal notes mid-palate. The flavors were definitely there, but I wonder if their vividness was overshadowed by acidity? It was a nice accompaniment to a nibble of P'tit Basque, so I'd try it with a cheese plate next time.
