Medium garnet color, with pronounced aromas of strawberry, vanilla, cedar, red cherry, and eucalyptus. Medium acidity and body, with flavors of blueberry, strawberry, black cherry, black pepper, cedar, and sandalwood. A medium + finish.

Bright and fruity, medium tannins, a lovely wine by itself or with spicy foods and pastas.

Salty, savory and earthy at first but tapers off to a full black cherry/plum finish. Really complex.

Pronounced aromas of red fruit, red cherry, strawberry, raspberry mixed in with notes of vanilla and some liquorice and herbs, though the finish is a bit short despite good acidity

Very balanced flavor, pairing well with fruit, cheese and red meats. Would definitely purchase this wine again.
