Poured into a large snifter wine glass from 2016 vintage year 3 of the 2-4 year shelf life recommendation. Opened and aired for ten minites but not decanted. Wine was at room temperature 70 degrees F. Pours deep velvet opaque with excellent lacing that lasts well. Nose is quite nice of currant, spice and slight oak. Maintains nose well throughout. Taste is light with rich berry, currant and smoke. Excellent body here with smooth aftertaste. A decent find for the price.

Can definitely see some similarities to Pinot noir with the lighter color and flavors, but doesn’t have the earthiness. An easy to drink red with or without food.
