A field of fresh real strawberry mingled with blackberry bramble and mint.
This nose continues to influence the wines light bodied flavor nuances.
Cherry skins, ripe red fruits, feathery vanilla tannins, crisp and well integrated horseshoe acidity. (Front and sides of tongue)
Delightful.
Robbing the cradle..

Popped and poured; consumed over four hours. Red cherry, strawberry, baking spices. Enough structure to last for more than a few years but there’s no reason to hold onto these. Went well with stuffed peppers tonight. Drink now.
