I woke up this cloudy morning to the loveliest of sounds, a sound I hadn’t heard here in nearly two months. Slow, steady, peaceful rain, falling outside my open window. And the SMELL!! Isn’t it wonderful? That moisture-filled aroma of damp earth is both calming and invigorating all at…

📍tart Rainier cherry
📍medium-plus acidity
📍vibrant effervescence
📍the faintest hint of shortbread on the finish, accentuated with underripe strawberry notes
📍75% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay
📍11% alcohol, so very drinkable
📍$15 on the shelf and also available in a canned format
