A great representation of the style. Ripe raspberry and spice, soft acidity and medium tannins. Highly drinkable.

Dark ruby in the glass. Mellow and smooth very light tannins. Soft in the mouth. No dry wine here. Medium body and soft red currant with a hint of vanilla.

2015 Dec 26, 2017 (JP in Nov 2017). First experience with this varietal. Well made, although dark in color, medium bodied with supple tannins. Very nice, in a good way. Reserving further judgement until the next bottle.

A "nice" wine that opened up after an hour. Dark fruit taste with noticeable acidity. Good for weeknight dinners.
