Sweet fruit and spice on the nose. Good mid-palate and fairly rounded. Of moderate complexity with tannin and acid nicely balanced. Drink now or hold for five more years.

Dark ruby color; somewhat mute nose. Dark cherries, light spice, olives and an umami note. Very balanced; lovely wine with food. Would rate this much higher, but looking for a bit more complexity. Still, this is an outstanding wine from the RRV made in an Old World style.

Very clean and a nice structure. Not a bold wine. Good fruit.

Tasted at the winery. Quick notes: musty on the mouth with a dry, short and somewhat bitter finish. Fair.
