Label got me. It’s got silver ferns. Screw top is not very old world Greek, but hey it’s the 21st century. Light-ish purple with plenty of pink-red when the light shines through. Very little aroma. Maybe a bit of red berries. Flavor of tart lingonberry. Hint of nutmeg and such. It’s a lighter, simple red like some low alcohol Grenache and Sangiovese. Could maybe use a bit more somethin-sumtin. Maybe more acid. Or more rocks. Maybe more fern? It’s good, just lacks bite.
