Light golden colored. Aromas of peach, apple. Mineral flavors with creamy oak and vanilla on the finish. Decent amount of oak but fairly well blended.88pts

Nice dark color. Tight nose but has some cherry, oak, cedar. Nice round mouthfeel, soft tannins, with good cherry flavors. No fakeness in this wine for the price point. Great pizza wine.

Dark purple color. Notes of black cherry and coffee. Fruit forward, explosive cherry flavors. Huge tannins. This was tasted prior to decanting. After decanting for 3 hrs the wine opened up nicely, tannins softened and it had lovely complexity with a smooth vanilla finish.90pts

This wine is almost clear. Hints of lemon. It has some effervescence but not as much as a sparkling wine. Very dry, simple but nice. Great wine for the price point.
