The nose is a mixture of plums and fennel, maybe tar. On the palate there are mild mannered red an blue fruits, like dark cherries and plum. Perhaps a little wood, but it isn't intrusive. Mild tannins and acids and a fairly short, fruit driven finish. This is a nice tasty drinkable wine. I wouldn't expect it too improve overly with time.

Medium clear red with a hint of purple. On the nose the fruit is subtle. What I get is peppery blackberry and cooked squash. Dust and dry. The palate is juicy with dark ripe fruits. Complex mid palate. Smooth creamy finish although a little light on tannin and acid. Easy drinking. I nice effort for the price.

Light ruby red color, like a jewel in it's clarity. First thing I think of on the nose is fresh raspberries from my grandpa's garden, fresh and soft, with notes of oak, leather, clove all subtle and well integrated. The palate continues this trend with a fresh acidty and soft mouthfeel. The raspberries are back but this time they come with light touches of blueberry and dusty oak. Tannins are soft and well integrated. As far as a drinking wine this is a nice treat that is soft enough to pair well with a good pasta dish or lighter meats. 3 in 5.
