New vintage. Light pink, excellent clarity. Label mentions four attributes to expect: watermelon and raspberry in nose, cranberry and pomegranate in mouth. Can confirm the last two, with length; also some lemon flavor. Getting something herbal in nose, watermelon as well. (Raspberry? Not initially) Bone dry. Some spritz and slight skin astringency in finish. Good varietal expression. Excellent value, but better with food than for quaffing or sipping, I think.
