Review:

A brighter nose of bing cherry, bramble fruit, currants, and a bit of earth greets the senses. A sip unfurls notes of cherry, red currants, oak, dark-chocolate, and a bit of musty earth. A lighter-bodied Bordeaux-style blend, it’s quite dry, a bit bright, and a bit earthy. A nice, complex wine but it’s not for fans of rich, elegant fruit.
