Medium red. Aromatic nose combines sour cherry, dried flowers, herbs and graphite; very cabernet franc. Then spicy and subtly sweet, with firm acidity giving the sour cherry fruit a juicy character. Perfumed and light on its feet.

The structure is just fine, with graceful tannins and acidity, and the alcohol is fairly modest. The flavors are lovely, too, suggesting cherries and red currants. But they turn a little hollow mid-palate, and finish quick. Drink up.
