Moderately light reddish-purple hue in the glass. Lovely,
complex nose offering aromas of black cherries, mixed berries, rose
petals and newly sawn wood. Lighter weighted, crisp and juicy, with
ripe stone fruit flavors and a hint of grapefruit peel in the background.
Good (+). (Note: check with winery on availability as this was
