Easy to drink and very approachable now with soft red plum flesh and cherry flavors along with notes of foliage and menthol. Moderate weight and some gripping tannins provide a nice texture, making it a good match for barbecue fare.

Jammy strawberry and raspberry notes fill the nose and mouth, and a soft accent of chocolate-covered cherry adds just the right amount of decadence. A slight peppery lift keeps things vibrant on the finish.

The vibrant acidity helps to keep the red fruit lively and upfront, but otherwise the wine is lighter in intensity and quite soft in the mouth with no real tannic presence. Subtle hints of pepper provide a touch of complexity.

Lemon and Anjou pear take the lead in this easy-drinking white, with secondary hints of faint toast and citrus rind adding depth and interest. It’s balanced but there’s a slight sharpness to the finish with a slightly pithy bitterness.

There’s a lemon drop candy accent to the red cherry fruit flavors of this wine, transitioning to a juiciness that freshens up the finish. Drink now.
