Hard to argue with this one. Light and energetic and so fresh still, with a pleasant sweetness.

Showing a good amount of dark cherry fruit winemaker Ben smith winemaker for cadence, some meaty notes with some savory herbs and earth notes. Smooth and velvety on the tongue with a nice amount of red berry fruit and a nice touch of spice and tangy mineral notes through the finish. Zesty spiced finish 45+ excellent +
