A little too much alcohol on the nose. There is some fruit and a bit of earthiness. Smells like a rock quarry with some berries growing in it.
Pretty fruity right up front, although only for an instant. Some berries, red fruit, and then spice. This is pretty brief as you are then hit by a wave of tannins. Also short lived... no follow through after that. Dies off pretty quick.
Easy drinking though. Not bad for what I'm doing right now (reading about wine). Otherwise uninspiring.

Strawberries on the nose. Strong fruit flavor. The Kool Aid of Rose.
