Nice fruit, nice length, nice balance. Great everyday wine. Ash, blackberry, dark cherry, cocoa. Lots of palate reach for such an inexpensive wine.

Pretty light, but not in a pansy-ass way. Like a good way. Like I'm gonna drink a ton more way. #proreview

Ripe, sweet plums and sour cherries. Medium body with nice juicy acidity. Just a touch of tannin in the background. No wood, great vintage. Lovely.
