...It has a lifted, floral and nose of cran-raspberry fruit and a hint of balsam evergreen. It's light to mid-weight, nicely tart-edged, juicy and packed with fruit. There is a very pleasant touch here, and the length is surprising for the money. Some heat. Very good to excellent length. Chill lightly and enjoy over the next two years while the fruit is in bloom.
