Pale/yellow straw in color. Well formed rim and legs after a good swirl. Legs were slow moving and held together. Aroma of pineapple, mango and maybe some overripe peach. Medium bodied on the palate. Smooth and fruity with an acidity that is healthy but tapering off on the finish. Very tasty and is ready to drink now and over the next year or so.

Deep purple in color, almost a little inky around the edge. Well developed, long and consistent legs. Swirling leaves a very visible rim around the glass. Aroma of raspberries, plum and licorice. There was also slight hints of peppercorn. On the palate, the wine is smooth, soft but full. Light to medium tannin provides a nice balance and coats the mouth with a dry finish. The wine is full of fruit and delicious. The wine can be drunk now, but could also be held for several more years.

Deep purple in color. Similar but lighter than a dornfelder by comparison. Aroma of blackberry, raspberries and hints of spice. On the palate the wone is full, smooth and juicy. Very fruit forward and we'll balanced. Medium dry on the finish with a lasting aftertaste that coats the mouth. Very tasty now, but could continue to develop over the coming years.
