Ripe berries, bright acid, just enough spice. Soft tannins and very versatile.

Smells lightly sweet, tastes slightly spicy, a little herbaceous. Light bodied brambly fruits.

Strawberry and red raspberry turning to red cherry with air. Bright but with a slightly candied aspect. Fruit driven, with undercurrents of leather, flowers. Finished with a kick of spice. Acidity is in balance, very soft and light tannins. Not super complex but fresh and good, if a bit unstructured. Sees no wood.

Very pleasant acidity and jam (just enough and on lighter side) tiny bit of sweet, sour grape frawns, nice rich darkness boozy floral clay smell

Ripe berries on the nose, dry on the palate. Well-balanced and very good value from Astor wines ($9-12).
