Vivid ruby-red. Dark berries, cherry and mocha on the nose and in the mouth. In a fleshy, weighty style, with a broad, warm finish that features dusty tannins and a hint of bitter chocolate.

This is a pleasant, easy-drinking wine with forward, fruity flavors of cranberry and plum. Though aging in 15% new French oak is listed, it's the fruit rather than the barrel flavors that stand out here. It might be compared favorably to an Oregon Gamay.

Up front and snappy, with boysenberry and tarragon flavors that finish with zesty tannins. Drink now through 2024. 12,900 cases made.
