Bright mid red fruit and blue fruits, cherry cola, soft herbs and spice. On the lighter side for mouthfeel and completely. A nice wine young not one to age for any length.

Could benefit from a bit more age, but overall rich cherry notes mixed with earthy body. After opening up for an hour, this became delightful.
