  SUMMARY
  QUALITY: Medium+
  COMMENTS: A year past its drinking window apparently. Pale in colour with lighter rim. A great sipper now actually. Though quite warm from alcohol, the acidity and lovely ripe fruit taste balances it all out. Had it with a burger and it was a lovely even match. This wine is very approachable and one that I would buy for a crowd. Little hint of oak as new oak aging 35%. Though a great wine- one glass is probably all i would have. It lacks the complexity that I generally like in wine, but it WOULD be a general crows pleaser
