Spicy, salty and bold. Grippy tannins, medium body, tight acidity. I get a blast of old flavor green sweetarts, the lime ones. Great flavor, but could be better with a longer, more robust finish

Pleasant surprise. Light, rosy red color a Sangiovese like. Bright and acidic - mild tannins. Fun, easy drinking fruit with acid and some leather to support. Fun!
