Drank my only bottle of this in April. Had the chance to taste this again from a friend's cellar. Still remarkable how fresh and vibrant it is for an inexpensive light wine. Liked it then, like it now.

I was actually pleasantly suprised by how drinkable this wine was. Sure it was light in body, but there was still good fruit to match the tannins. Earthy with plenty of blackberry and dark cherry and some secondary characteristics. I thought it was going to be tired and dead, but it got even better over an hour.

Medium ruby color. Nice nose with raspberries, cherries, some damp earth, flowers (violets), and a touch of tar. Medium body with soft, integrated tannins. Lots of red fruit on the palate with some earth. Nice finish.
