Red with the faintest purple.  Pretty red fruits, earthy, generous and engaging.  The palate shows juicy red cherries and some spice – it is big and generous, sweet fruit, forward, light and bright. Strangely, there is also a trace of something metallic, almost like gunsmoke, perhaps lending it to appear a little harsh. With time, the wine broadens and loosens, it’s a kind of “come-and-get-it” wine, but still an impressive effort.
