  Medium ruby. Medium-intensity nose of candied fruit (cherry/raspberry) and herbs. Strong palate of overly sweet cherry coke. Medium-light body, fairly silky, with reasonable acidity, but the tannins are harsh and the sweet/artificial fruit quickly gives way to bitter. Short finish of artificial fruit and sage.

  Pale strawberry colour; light nose with jammy fruit and herbs, some freshness and Pinot typicity; the palate lets the wine down, sweetish and weak, with disjointed and drying tannins; reasonable length, finishes with herbs and tea. It is not undrinkable but there is an artificial feel to the whole package - it gives the impression of being designed to suit a certain (assumed) taste.

  nose: dusty raspberries, anise, hint of cherry
  
  palate: cherries and raspberries. quite fresh and fruity. soft tannins. spice and liquorice on the medium-long finish.
  
  good balance, a simple on the palate but the finish alone is worth 5 bucks.
