Fruity aromas, light red fruits, very jammy smelling. Cant quite pin down the fruit, maybe huckleberry or plum.

Well balanced and fruit forward. Light on tannins, with a short enjoyable finish.

Smells and tastes of caramel. Very smooth with a long finish. This wine was easy drinking, but lacked the intensity and dimension I was looking for. Maybe it needs to be aged.

Strong nice aroma. Tastes of black cherry and plum. Tasted more like the skin of plum than the flesh. This wine was fairly strong, but pretty balanced. The finish is strong and expressive.

I liked this wine. Has a subtle fruity smell. Has a spicy slightly acidic start followed by a nice finish highlighted with dark rich fruits like rasberry and cherry.
