Very dark in color, nearly opaque. Very light bodied easy drinking wine with little complexity but after opening up for about 20 minutes the fruit really begins to come out. Short finish but medium acidity makes it a good pair with saucy Italian.

Medium bodied and deep purple in color. Black cherries lead way to plum and earthier flavors like tobacco. Fair amount of tannins even after being decanted for an hour.

Excellent summer red, dark in color, light in body. A burst of blackberry and ruby red grapefruit with light tannin. A very smooth wine.
