Charred fruit nose. Dark cherry, strawberry jam, cinnamon, clove, and oak on the palate. Moderate plus acid and medium tannins with long finish. Pretty complex for such a young wine at this price point.

Tawny colored. Plum. Would definitely drink again, but wouldn’t rush to the store for it

Really light, see thru ruby w/beautiful elegant nose full of rich ripe cherry and raspberry, mineral & cola, hint of sweet spice. Light bodied, juicy & clean. Delicious, seriously lacks stuffing but well done for what it is - just watch food pairing.
