  Medium ruby - dark cherry, hint of Concord grape, black currant pastille, cinnamon, spice; palate adds leather and cedar. Medium acid, medium rustic tannins, 13% ABV, medium body, medium finish.
  
  Paired nicely with Slow-Cooker Chicken Stew With Sausage and White Beans.

  Bright cherry and cranberry, just shy of ripe, fresh with some herb and maybe mint, vague flowers, maybe leather. M+ to high acid, not much tannin, M to M- body. This is very nice both on its own and with food (had it with meaty pasta). Good varietal character, fresh and drinkable, high quality for $20. Recommended. 7.4/10

  Dusty and old school on nose. Light, red fruit, high acid, short finish.

  The nose showed dusty sweet spices and minerals with dried roses and lifting minerality. On the palate, I found soft textures with zesty ripe cherry offset by mouthwatering acidity and saturating minerality. This incredibly juicy effort finished long and tantalizing in every way with tart cherry and spices resonating on the senses. Very nice.

  Fruit is just underripe, nice and fruity. I think classic. Delish.
