Tasting Note:March 26, 2024

Bright ruby red in appearance. Interesting nose with some cheesy nuances and strawberries. Well balanced acidity and medium tannins (5.5/10) with a medium body. A little bit of a zing on the palate with some brighter red fruits. Served slightly chilled. Medium length finish.
