Thoughts on Tasting the 2019 Prats + Symington Post Scriptum #
Most memorable flavors? There’s definitely a strong alcohol smell at first, but nice winemaking overcomes that quickly. Berry notes are foremost: blackberries and Queen Anne’s cordial cherries. Mint and mild licorice round out this light-bodied treat.
What would I pair it with? A salad of prosciutto and melon with ricotta.
Would I drink it again? Absolutely.
At this $27 price? Sounds reasonable.
