Deep ruby-purple in color with a fluorescent magenta rim, this wine’s nose has boisterously youthful fruit. The fragrances and flavors include black cherry, mulberry, pomegranate, allspice, rose and cilantro. Structurally graceful, the lightly drying and very fine tannins blend harmoniously with the medium-plus acidity. The fruit exuberance fades rather quickly on the finish, so don’t let this wine’s vibrancy slip by. Drink now through 2016.
