Wine Review: This is the second vintage in a row that I have recommended this wine. It is bright ruby colored and opens with a nice light cherry and oak bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, soft, and very tasty with very appealing cherry vanilla flavors. The finish is quite dry and has nicely managed tannins that linger for quite some time. Enjoy - Ken
