Nose: Varnish, pineapple, warm bricks with strawberries sitting in the sun, live young bamboo, sugar snap peas, shredded redwood. Living in an apartment, I often miss sinking my hands into the ground. I’ve been chatting with my mom about small closed system hydroponics, which gives you the green and the berries but misses the feel of the soil.
Palate: White pineapple tea. Touch of aspirin. The nose strongly hints at it, but the palate brings it home. Less fruit and far more vegetable garden. Sauteed green beans. Rainbow chard. Braised cauliflower.
Rating: 4 / 10 – This misses the fruit big hug that I look for in a Savanna. The varnish / aspirin vibe is too much.
