The color was golden, and on the palate my mental picture was grass and citrus. Although this a probably a 'different' wine, one of our dinner guests (who is not a wine enthusiast) thoroughly enjoyed the wine, too. This wine was recommended by the staff at my preferred wine store, and I plan to purchase more.

I agree with the others' characterization of the color, nose, and palet.
Although I enjoy CdR wines, I am not a big fan. This wine, however, I would buy again. For me, the balance of fruit and spice was exceptional; a CdR lover may dislike the 'subdued' spice component. I would pair this wine with lighter entrees than what I would normally pair a CdR with.

Medium bodied, medium red in color. The taste of cherries and similar red berries came to mind. I enjoyed it more when I first tasted it in the store. I will probably buy it again to try at a later age.
