Tasting notes
This wine's medium ruby color and ripe curranty fruit intertwined with scents of cedar are initially pleasing, but the dilution is apparent in the mouth where the tannin and wood dominate the wine's meager fruit. Perhaps more depth will emerge with aging, but it appears this wine should be drunk over the next 4-5 years.
