Notes
-----
Color is a nice light garnet, turning only slightly to pink
at the edges. The nose is very rich and fruity, with jammy
red fruits, raspberry, plum, and cherry, and hints of
chocolate and new leather. The taste is not as concentrated
as I'd like, a bit on the acid side, which kind of
overpowers the fruit, mainly raspberry. A solid element of
tannins keeps the acids in bounds. A pleasant little wine,
good for everyday drinking or serving with food.
