Flashlight shows a clear, bright crimson color, smells of black plum, black cherries, and blackberries. The taste is fruity and lightly acidic, with flavors of cherry, plum, blackcurrant, blackberry, and raspberry on a light body. The finish is long and moderately dry, featuring notes of grape leaves, plum skins, line zest, and soft leather. Overall, I like this one, I will have to try the whole cluster version of this wine, but I believe most Caduceus wines are whole cluster. This one does seem to be a touch cleaner and brighter perhaps. Either way, it’s fruity, it’s complex, and it’s well balanced, a great red that is easy to enjoy.
