Showing an eye-appealing maroon color, this hearty wine pops with candied blueberry fruits. Pronounced lavender notes and a dash of baking spice follow. Showing a generous core of chunky red and blue fruits, this vivaciously youthful wine has substantial body, sassy acidity and lightly splintery tannins. In fact, its primary drawback is the surprising, unrelenting dryness on the moderate finish. Enjoy this pleasant, light red with casual fare rather than on its own. Drink now–2023.
