Medium Ruby with aromas of red berry fruit and herb spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and tart raspberry with pleasant earthy herb notes, wrapped in vivid acidity and nice mouthfeel. Fine grainy tannins, good balance, long finish ending with full fruit character. Nice. Tasting Sample.

This is a decidedly *pretty* wine. Enthralling and delicate perfume that recalls a bowl of freshly-washed raspberries and strawberries, wet wood, and a touch of earth with some incense on the top.

Amazing floral, rose bud, nice sourness but it's so damn balanced, ever so slight sweetness that gets the rose bud to stick to the tongue and roof of mouth, rich hibiscus, distant raspberry, very clear and light in color, great complexity and layering

Light ruby color. Aromas of fresh herbs, baking spices and red berry fruit. Expressive palate notes bright red cherry/raspberry and strawberry fruit, the aforementioned baking spices and wet soil Pleasant note of purple flowers on the long and lingering finish. Well balanced with pronounced acidity. Velvety mouthfeel.

Vanilla and spicey nose is pleasant but had me on fear that this would be super oaky. Not so! This wine is balanced with subtle red fruit, kitchen spice and plenty of acid. Medium bodied, delicious.
