  What others said already - A very gulpable wine. Bright ripe fruit, moderate acidity, light velvety tannin. Don't look for complexity here; but this was a highly drinkable, super food-friendly wine. (Logged drink date not applicable. I drank both my bottles in the summer of 2023)

  What a delicious, easy drinking wine. Loaded with ripe and a little tart cherries. Bright, red rose, floral qualities. Ruby red, low tannin, high acid, medium bodied. No decanting necessary. Good value. Wish I had more.

  Aromas of black cherry and freshly turned soil. Flavors of Morello cherries. Moderate-high acidity on the finish makes it very food friendly (spicy tomato sauce, black olives, ricotta, aged cheese).

  Tasted after a two hour decant.
  Medium ruby in colour with lovely floral aromas of violet & lavender.
  On the palate, medium bodied fresh, tart red fruit, dried cherry, unripe strawberry, floral, chocolate, high acidity, low to medium soft tannins with a medium to long finish to sour cherry, earthy minerality & spice.
  No oak appears to have been used in the making of this wine, & it is fruit pure & lovely.
