May 28th, 2018Slightly candied/honeyed nose, overripe strawberries, fresh cranberries and raspberries. Molasses and herbaceous notes on the nose as well. Some light barnyard notes, charcuterie and spice too. The palate sings more than the nose. Ripe cranberries/ red cherries and dried strawberry fruit. Some red licorice, musty earth/dried herbs and leather notes. Cinnamon and other spices linger. Great wine for the price!

Cherry, wet leaves, med body, bright acid and orange rind. Bought at a discount store for $20. Happy with the purchase :)
