Light, translucent ruby in the glass. Red berries and very pretty floral qualities are evident on the nose. Light bodied and feminine, rather than fleshy, in style with silky tannins and 13.8% alcohol. Still holding up very well.

Beautiful, seemed like roasted raspberries dusted with ground leather and mocha.

Translucent medium ruby red. Lighter bodied with red fruit, some cranberry, spice, and a little pine needle. 13.8 % ABV. Very good.

Wishing Chris the best possible recovery and looking forward to more great wines from him!
