Nicely perfumed with aromas of oak-kissed cherry, baking spices and rose petal. Straight-forward and easy drinking with a core of wood-fired cherry and berry framed by soft, silky tannins and bright acidity. Oak plies the background in a complimentary manner. The finish is short but accommodating. Score: 89. Reviewed December 3, 2022
