Nothing complicated here just a light and juicy wine
Description: Medium ruby to garnet in colour with a medium to medium+ intense nose. The wine features light oak, cherry, raspberry, blackberry & plums. Medium to light body with low tannins, good acidity and an average length.
Negatives: Seemed like there was a second fermentation going on in the bottle
Drink now or in the next 2 years on its own or pair it with garlic prime rib.
Tasted: 12 Sept 2014

Light and unimpressive. Thin ruby colour and lightly sweet. It's soft tannins and medium acidity don't offer much in complexity. Hints of red candied fruit and a small smokey note on the nose. Medium length finish. I'd pass on this wine.
