Fuller bodied than a Burgundy, not particularly complex. But fresh, fruity, bright acidity, and food friendly.

Definitely on the short list for all-time great daily drinker. Spunky cranberry and pomegranate laden with a chalky core, grapefruit pith, red rooibos, cinnamon, and that zesty Loire pepper and herb. Approx $11 retail

**When you're having such a good time catching up you don't realize Tony Danza is sitting right next to you at the bar and trying to start a conversation** Picking up a long way from where we left off but not missing a beat 💗 with Amelia

Lackluster in my opinion. It just tastes a little flat. No spice as indicated on the label but a little cherry on the nose.
