This wine is a red-cherry color in the glass. The nose offers aromas of musk, marzipan, red cherry and strawberry. Moderate in body, this red shows lots of refreshing zip and soft tannins. Layers of flavors add on a pleasant earthiness that lasts into the lingering finish. Elegant and palate-caressing, it can go solo as well as with food. While the well-crafted structure should allow it to hold, the youthful fruit is too much fun to resist. Drink now–2019.
