Nose
Really fruity, mainly on raspberries and strawberries and fresh, ripe, sweet blackberries. Some pink lemonade. Honey. A bit of a fruity winey funk. A light, clay-y note with a hint of malt to it.
Palate
Main thing that pops out at first is a good texture. The flavors fall much in line with the nose, really fruity. There is a bit more of this lemony / green grape dry austerity to it that somehow coexists with the fruity notes. Grows quite sour over time. The wine funk is still here -- a bit like something overfermented. Chalky. Minty, which isn't going great with the rest of it.
Finish
Wow, much drier and funkier. That sourness is like biting into a fresh lemon, then a handful of green grapes. Long finish on that red wine note (Pinot Noir if I am taking a stab, but I have probably tasted less than 2 dozen wines total in my life, so big grain of salt). Mainly ever-so-slightly overripe raspberries.
