On its own, OK. Paired with smoked sausage and roasted potatoes...yum! Seems on the thinner side, but definitely has a smokey character. Like a smoked pinot noir. Needs to decant.

Bright young color. Earth on the nose. Spice, raspberry on the attack. Astringent.

Very jammy, strawberry notes and also a little woodsy
On the lighter side, would be great for warmer weather

Pour one out to the Chommie that made this wine. You will get some mad flavor of desiccated smoky dark cherry and plum. At 14.2% alcohol, this wine lets you get straight to business
