Winery Review:  Organically and naturally grown and made, this wine allows the varietal and the terroir to stand out cleanly. It shows a nice cherry color with a violet shade because of its youth. Red berries and cherries on the nose. On the palate it is fresh, slightly astringent, and harmonious with a long finish.

Personal Review:  Raspberry, blackberry, and slight cranberry smell. Especially fruity for a dark red. A little smokey, but not overpowering. Not a strong alcoholic bite at all--very smooth and easy. Full bodied enough to pair with pork or beef.
