reddish color in the glass. Aromas of strawberries, red cherries, sandalwood and wood spice, with wood
predominating over time in the glass. Relatively light in weight, with appealing flavors of ripe strawberries and
cherries with oak in the background. Supple tannins with a good spark of acidity make for an easy drinking,
