Tart ripe cherries, strawberries and ccrnberries! Very bright and lush with great acid and balance.

Enjoyed this. Light, yet a lot of flavor.

Good but wouldn't pay $20 for it again. Easy drinking but not a ton of personality.

Great nose with smoky and earthy notes. In the mouth it's light, with good tannins. Not super complex, easy drinker with good acidity

Rich colour, first glass: smooth, slight sting to the tongue, alcohol, good bottom. Good with steak and spicy curried veggies; hints of lavender, red pepper and dirt. Integrating well with Wayne Shorter on the turntable. Open 15 minutes now; wine is settling into to the room. It's comfortable now. Smoother, with the overall alcohol sense reduced to the background. The fruit is appearing now, partridgeberry and gooseberry jam on homemade white bread. Tightening up now. Shifting to Chet Baker. Wine is keeping up. Nice aftertaste now, apple, werthers candy and crackerjack. I like it.
