Browning edges in glass suggest that it might be fading. Bubblegum aromas with strawberry, raspberry and vanilla in the background. A small note of fresh cut hay too. The palate pops with a big bowl of cherries and the hay component shows up with a little spice and mushroom. Bright acid on the finish rounds out the lighter tannin profile. Drink for next 5-7 years.
