A translucent red color between garnet and brick with thin to nonexistant "legs". Aromas of cherry and the skin of apple; bouquet of flint, earth, cinnamon and possibly white cedar. An indescribable scent which escapes my vocabulary but reminiscent of the woods in late summer. Medium bodied and a surprising tanin level, but well-in balance. Tastes of cherry and perhaps a mineral note strike the tongue; the aftertaste unmistakeably that of the slight bitterness following a bite into a red delicious apple. A good value buy and a good summer red. Drink now.

Toast, heavy fruit. A bit hot at first but mellowed within 30 minutes.

Nice hints of red fruits in the aroma. First taste tastes of pomigranite and cherry. Nice earthy body and some bite at the finish.

Nice medium bodied wine with real Pinot Noir flavors for ten bucks!
