Medium ruby Aromatics medium. Red cherry and red rose. No new oak. Palate medium +. Acid medium +. Tannins medium + to high, but relatively fine grained. Alcohol medium +. Cherries and chalk, but the cherries are still ripe. Finish has a medium length. Wine is not balanced. Structure seems to overwhelm the fruit especially the alcohol. Overall this is a big wine. Regarding drinking window, certainly has structure to age. Fruit is still present but I don't think it will last beyond 4 more years.

Another lovely showing for this wine - really nice balance - big, slightly sweet, with nice acidity and mild tannins - for sub-$15 this is an excellent wine.

Best served chilled. Still drinking well days later, after having been stored in the fridge.
