Entirely too young at this point, more grape juice than wine, lacking depth. Overly strong cherry notes that could turn lovely if this were to age more. Improves after being open for at least an hour, but still too young for my preferences.

Pale ruby in color. Nose of dried cherry, hints of raspberry, violet, and dried herbs that I can’t exactly place. On the palate, raspberry and strawberry notes are immediate, but are quickly subdued by assertives spices, cinnamon, clove, and tobacco. The wine has a medium body that is on the lighter side with moderate tannins. I find myself wanting this wine to have more body to go with its wonderful flavor profile.
For a food pairing, veal speaks to me here. Something with a simple preparation like a grilled veal chop.

One of three red burgs with Thanksgiving. My favorite. Nice and light staying on red fruit side. New producer for me.
