My #6, group #8. This wine needs time. Very light red color. Nose of bright cranberry, some vanilla. Very tannic, bright berry flavors, a lot of acid. Medium+ finish.
My #2, Group #7. Light Ruby color, one of the lightest of the tasting. Bright nose with pretty herbs. Very smooth body with complex bright berry flavors. Very good balance, medium+ finish.
