Ripe and fruity from start to finish. The bouquet is fresh andclean, with a bit of citrus peel and red raspberry. A lot of easy red fruit carries the palate, primarily strawberry, raspberry and currant. Chocolaty at the end, but not oaky. A bona fide crowd-pleaser for a very good price.

Fairly dense on the nose, with aromas of coffee grounds, leather and beef stew along with berry fruit. The palate is true, with plum and brambly berry flavors. However, the feel is a bit choppy due to sharp acidity. A good blend that will do well with food.

The nose bears a strong resemblance to canned fruit, particularly peaches. The palate offers some zesty nectarine and even more fruit cocktail. Moderately snappy, with some solid core acidity. The blend is 50% Chardonnay and 50% Viognier. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports.
