Francois Lurton Hacienda Araucano 'Humo Blanco' Edicion Limitada 2018 Review

There is a sweetness to this wine that takes away from the inherent qualities of the grape, but it drinks easy. On the nose there is an odd blend of under ripe bell pepper and what I can only describe as granola, weird right? But on the palate that granola works to hide the cloying pepper notes, transforming into more of a vanilla yogurt thing. It’s refreshing enough for an affordable party wine.
