Fruit up front without any clear direction or path to the finish. Easy to drink and no objectionable features. Also, no twists and turns to contemplate.

Very pleasant wine; nothing objectionable, but nothing particularly memorable. Oak level was fine (low). Some acidity and tannic structure that made positive contributions.

Very pleasantly surpised by the quality of this wine and the winemaker let the fruit do most of the talking. Low oak tones, which is a big plus in my view compared to a lot of heavy oak out of Napa and Alenxander Valley. Great big fruit, but enough acid to tackle a flavorful meal. Tannins quite restrained for such a young wine, but not unstaffed. Considering this is only $23, I thinking I need to get some more.

Medium ruby with an aging rim already. This seems to be fading
