Light weight matching its light ruby see through color: decent cherry, sassafras, vanilla - seems to be set up to be a little bodied, simplistic crowd pleaser. OK acidity, relatively smooth - just not compelling or complex or heavy enough to stand up to much in the way of food. We had smoked pork belly and this wine never had a chance...
