The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like strawberry, raspberry, apple and dill. It tastes like strawberry, raspberry, dill and black pepper. The body is light/medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. Tasted over 3 days with minimal fading. Well-balanced. At $18 purchase price, average QPR. Will buy future vintages.

Medium dark. Better balance, with less overt sweetness, than we remembered or expected. Nothing special, but nice.

Drinkable but average; somewhat flat and non-expressive fruit; minimal depth and complexity.
