Drank in Maine with kinda Mexican spice grilled pork loin. Cranberry color. Nose of cherry (slightly cough syrup variety?), plum. strone fruit generally. In the mouth light body of... uh... non-descript stone fruit? Not quite ripe plum, grape? Not bad, just not distinct or complex. Some tannins on the side of the tongue if you really hold it in your mouth. Finishes fairly fast, doesn't leave much of a lingering impression. Nothing objectionable, nor nothing memorable.

Drank to celebrate the kiddo being off Covid quarantine while in Maine. Served with spaghetti and meatballs, oily and mediocre garlic bread and salad with super sweet cherry tomatoes. Inky red hue. Nose of cherry, raspberry, blackberry. Similar in the mouth, maybe a touch of dark chocolate or tobacco? Decent acidity, but of tannins gives it some body. Of like it s little drier, I'm getting a bit of sweetness. A solid table wine. Not the best pairing, but selection wasn't all that robust either, and it worked well enough. Might stick with steak or chocolate.

Drank in Maine with grilled lamb Kofte. Very clear, lighter red color. Nose of cherry maybe a suggestion of licorice. In the mouth gallery one dimensional with cherry originating, but after opening up for an hour or two picks up a touch of earth and darker notes. Enough acid to balance, very low tannins. It's ok. I'm not sure how this would evolve much to be honest.
