A jaunty little wine with raspberry compote, christmas cherries and cherry cola on the nose. It’s perky with dusty tannins and enough acidity to keep pace with the ripeness of fruit. A coconut and red currant punch leads to carob, cola and chocolatey tones. This has more structure than you would bet on for the price point.This could handle medium rare meats and in fact a well seasoned steak sandwich would really hit the spot. Drink now or will cellar for 2-3 years further.
