Well spiced
cherries with an edge. On the palate the wine has good grip with mediumweighted
flavors of red cherries, baking spices, and a hint of oak. Very tame
tannins. Excellent persistence on the finish which features a citric cherry tang.
This wine will find many fans for its modest alcohol and food-friendly zippy acidity.
