Lightweight, acidic and a bit thin, with a dusty/musty character that's far too typical of inexpensive European table wine. There's a modicum of red raspberry and plum fruit, but there's such little depth it fades quickly. No obvious taints, but I'll try a second bottle and give it another chance. Thus far, not recommended.

Nose a bit closed…some fresh blue fruit, slightly floral and a hint of vanilla. More explosive on the palate with delicious blueberries, raspberries and fresh herbs, finishes strong with med tannins and med acidity. Really solid fruit forward wine with excellent balance and a well integrated oak treatment. The 14% alcohol is not noticeable as the wine is fresh and finishes clean not jammy or hot at all. I am going to continue to buy a bottle or two every vintage.

Light red, low in tannins, some fruit taste but not very complex. Not for cabernet drinkers.
