Powerfully refreshing. Incredibly Complex. The 2024 Garden Gnome is your secret adventure through a subterranean dragon's lair.
Swirling the glass, you see priceless yellow jewels scattered in stardust, and behind the sleeping beast you spy an infinite chalkboard of ancient spells. You tiptoe through the lair, careful not to wake the dragon. But, when you take that first sip (holy f**k!!!), the great beast stirs awake. You realize, in that very wine-on-the palate electric instant, the dragon is you as you fly from the cave into the star-filled evening sky.
On the nose: electric minerality plugs into candied citrus (ZAP!). On the palate: a medium-bodied ray of white light rolls around your tongue, shooting straight through a finish that is simultaneously tasted by your ancestors and future descendants. Great acid with a candied texture.
