Nose: Crunchy, fresh red fruit of cherry and possibly a little cranberry.
Palate: Initially bright, the fruit is strong and fresh but not overpowering. There are silky tannins and a crisp acidity that provides a great mid-palate bite.
Finish: A little heat here (though not at all alcoholic) the astringency is slightly more pronounced as the finish ripens all the way through to the end.
Thoughts: Still very youthful and exuberant, fresh, fruity, bright. While not complex, this wine is by no means one-dimensional. What it is though, is immensely drinkable. I can't stop sipping as it just keeps getting better and better the longer it's open.

Falltacular 2013 (FMIII in the OC): Attractive fruit compote. Palate explodes with sweet red and blackberry. Medium finish. Fun drinking it with winemaker, really nice gentleman.

Slightly effervescent like an after fermentation?
