Fragrances of cherries, raspberries, and plums mingle with notes of spice and toasty oak on the nose. The palate offers flavors of raspberry, strawberry, and cherry that are accented by woodsy and earthy notes. Light with soft tannins, if you prefer drinking reds before dinner, this bottle will make an ideal aperitif.
