2022 Kiona Lemberger, Red Mountain, Yakima Valley, WA

With a beautiful ruby color, noticeable aromas of red and black fruits, including raspberry, cherry, and black currant are playful on the nose. Hints of soft spice, orange peel, and florals like rose petal and lavender add complexity, along with subtle earthy notes of potpourri, moist earth, and leather. The wine is approachable and focused, with primary flavors of ripe red and black berries. The palate is "fresh and crunchy," offering notes of plum, bitter red currants, and a subtle savory or spicy finish. Minimal oak influence during aging allows the vibrant fruit to be the star. Its soft, plush tannins and balanced, juicy acidity with supple fruit create a smooth, crystalline texture. Finishes with a silky smooth, glassy mouthfeel.  Critics describe it as an easy-to-drink wine that is both delightfully fruity and dangerously quaffable.
