Inky purple. Deep and ripe but also vibrant on the nose, with energetic red and dark berry scents. Fleshy in texture, with sweet blackberry and blueberry flavors supported by velvety tannins. Really suave, seamless wine that Cabral says was made using the same methods as the winery's pinots. This is frighteningly easy to drink.
