Gorgeously primary ripe fruit. Tangy ripe berries and a hint of fragrant sandstony gravel. Not complex but smooth, balanced, and fun. I would love to say this is a great every night dinner type wine but it's a bit expensive for that. Still, I like it a lot.

Great wine - good value. Really light on its feet and can be had with or without food. Floral nose finishes with dark berry fruits. #moorebrothers
