Sadly, this is over the hill now. The color is light red wtih a fair amount of orange. The nose provides watermellon and red cherry and does not bely the decayed state of this wine. In the mouth, there is almost no fruit, maybe a hint of cherry, but it is dominated by the acidity. The finish is acid-dominated with no real fruit. Overall, I let this one go too long. I expected this to be dead on day 2, but it was actually a little better after being open. The fruit didn't improve but the acidity was a little sess biting.

Color - Primarily orange with a hint of light red. Nose - Reticent with hints of cherry Palate - Seemed over the hill with little fruit compared to the structure. Structure - Light-bodied with high acidity Finish - Average with very little fruit left Overall - Over the hill with very little fruit remaining and high acidity. I will drink as soon as possible. This is not the wine we tried a year ago.

14.5% alcohol. This was as good as other bottles, with one caveat: there was a bit of spritz in this one that detracted. Otherwise refreshing, balanced, and very pretty. B+
