So smooth, rounded, and easy drinking, I get the impression it may be a little sweet. The bottle says 13.8% alcohol. There is not a lot of natural acid which also may indicate some pretty ripe grapes. I'm sure that some or maybe even all the grapes were whole cluster fermented. The good news is this wine tastes very good, if not a little on the sweet side. The color is a clear, light magenta. The nose has violets and red raspberry. The palate is almost syrupy red and dark fruit all the way from raspberry to plum. By no means complex, probably has been pretty heavily filtered. Minimal influence from oak. Cute little tannins. Just barely enough acid to hold things together. Sweet plum finish with a touch of dry tannins.
