Pours a clear crimson/purple hue, smells of grape juice, black currant, and elderberry. The taste is lightly sweet and a little acidic, with notes of black cherry, elderberry, and raspberry on a smooth medium body. The finish is long and smooth, featuring notes of raspberry, plum, and salted caramel. Overall, it’s kinda like a more refined and reserved version of the Red; smoother feel, less sweetness, a touch more acidity, and perhaps a slightly more tannic finish. It complements the Red well while still feeling like it’s own wine and not a simple variation.
