Winery Review:
"An aromatic red, with floral and white peach notes accenting the black raspberry and plum flavors. This is open-knit and fresh, offering light tannins on the finish." Wine Spectator

 My Review: I was pleasantly surprised by this wine.  The color was very light for a red wine.  The smell was very fruity, reminding me of a cherry jolly rancher and strawberry jam.  The taste was extremely fruity.  Notes of raspberry jelly, plum, and hints of peach.  The wine was very light bodied for a red.  I did not try this wine with food.
