I'm in the Vancouver area and I had almost the opposite experience. 2021 grapes from the Okanagan. I'd like a little more color and body but it may be a little premature. Where are you located exactly?
I'm not sure if you are still active, but THANKS for the full explanation of why the heck my supplier shipped me dry malic and lactic-cheap bas%ards.
If they always line up, lower middle and upper then I don't really need the standards...
