| Lacks definition. A bit dry red. |
| Medium to dark ruby in color, this wine smells of cherry and strawberry fruit tinged with earth. In the mouth, juicy cherry and berry notes are wrapped in a muscular fist of tannins that put the squeeze on the palate. Excellent acidity keeps things fresh and bright, with notes of oak and herbs lingering in the finish. |
| Stereotypical blood and bone, dried nori. Slight sweet sour tones with lovely maraschino cherry fruit sweetness |
| strawberry, red cherry tart, med intensity, sweet dense red fruit palate of medium length. simpler nose but enjoyable |
