Very deep ruby, almost purple at its core. Only vaguely Pinot Noir like on the nose, this offers aromas of fresh black cherries, blackberry jam, crème de framboise, violets and toast. To be very honest, this smells better than I expected it to; it isn't particularly stewed and lacks the burnt wood aromas found on many other Wagner family wines. Full bodied on the palate with medium acidity and what is almost certainly a dash of residual sugar adding viscosity but also helping pop the fruit flavors. This is not serious or intellectual wine, and after a glass grows tiresome, but it has an obvious appeal and surely many fans.

The wine looks rosy colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like strawberry, cherry and light toast. It tastes like cranberry and cherry. The body is light. The wine has narrow texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

Still drinking nicely. Big fruity body and mouth. Fruity finish with medium tannin
