This wine is ruby in color. Aromas of ripe plum, strawberry and nutmeg. On the palate, strawberry continues to shine through the medium-high acidity, light body and medium tannin. Medium-long finish morphs strawberry into spice box.

Very fruit forward.. Tasted much better than the initial aroma. Notes of vanilla, caramel and apples on the palette.

Simple strawberry quaffer with good acidity and a pleasant enough finish. Off kilter when opened, but it found its footing

This wine is delicious. To equate to beer - super low IBU. Kat likes it a lot

Lots of barnyard funk on the nose, dark berry flavors. Some tar in the mix. After the heavy profile, it finishes fairly lean. Quite an interesting wine for this price point.
