Nose is the best part - blueberry, warm vanilla spiced pudding, baking spices, bits of chocolate and hints of cedar. Palate is relatively straightforward - dark fruit, bit of spice, not much acidity or tannins - a bit flat, really. Modest finish. Nice to drink, but it is well constructed, fruit-forward drink-now wine, as the lack of structure will make this less interesting in a few years as the main attraction - the fruit - will fade and I don't see what will counterbalance.

Pear, peach, honesuckle. Round, mildly unctious, with trim minerality, acidity and slight effervescence. Very nice value.

Light cherry, oak; light - medium bodied, cedar, smooth, balanced, light acidity and resolved tannins, easy to drink, but not much of a value.
