Bonny Doon Vineyard Le Cigare Volant 2018 Review
This wine is great. It has vibrant acidity, loosening the fruit core and letting it spin around in the glass. It smells like woodland berries fresh off the vine, and fresh turned soil. It’s juicy and tart, but balanced, and would be a perfect pairing with leans meats like grilled lamb or duck breast.
