Very light bodied, mild plums, mild sweetness, nothing special. Substitute for water...

Definitely silky and red berry forward but a touch too sweet for my taste.

Color of light purple and ruby, a bit like bloody grapefruit. Nose of fresh cranberry, raspberry, a bit spice, a bit alcohol strength, even a bit wet mushroom. Taste is light with berry note, easy to drink with good acidity and spice, solid zest, and some cherry or strawberry jam. Aftertaste shows similar flavors with more spice and strawberry note. She is above average than most Pinot Noir. Just a bit too much edgy alcohol note.
