Retail $23. Under screw cap. Oddly, I was sent this 2017 sample after I had already received (and tasted) the 2018. Oh well, twist, pour, taste. As with its slightly younger sibling, this is an entirely pleasant quaff and one could do much worse in this price range ("me oh my" anyone?). Start to finish, this is varietally "correct" with notes of, yes, cherry pie, a bit of spice, and suggestions of earth. The palate is fruity and tart, just a bit lacking in depth. Again, a nice wine that does not require much introspection.
Medium ruby color. Sweet nose of cherry pie filling — and that’s not my reaction based on the name, it legit smells like cherry pie — along with raspberry jam, rhubarb and vanilla. Juicy and fun on the palate, this has a playful, smooth, easy-drinking appeal with medium/low acidity and light tannins. Not as candied and gloppy as I was expecting, this shows plump, sweet red fruits mixed with some spiced cranberry sauce, pepper, clove. Light-hearted fun. A blend of fruit from Monterey, Santa Barbara and Napa counties.

A little too delicate. Cherry and lots of it so at least it fits the name. Not too dry.
