The 2018 is fun easy drinking with an interesting sweet and savory thing going on after it’s been open a while. Great value.

$7.50 half bottle. Can’t beat that! Bright and uplifting. A bit short. But a fun sipper.

Red cherry skin and plum/berry. Chocolate notes & dried cranberries. Palate is tart and kinda bitey.

I always have enjoyed the wines of Hartley Ostini. Found this today for $16.99. What a bargain. Dark cherry turning to strawberry finishing about an hour and a half later with balanced spice and dark fruit. Beautiful wine. Caution: you may want more than one bottle.
