Deep ruby core with color that stains the glass. Ripe black cherry and blackberry aromas are surrounded by smoky dried herbs and rich, roasted raspberry. Medium bodied with great acid on the palate. Very juicy fruit flavors of strawberry, black cherry and raspberry are surrounded by a complex smoked meat nuance. Lingering smoky fruit on the finish.

Medium lemon yellow core with a clear rim. Tons of youthful, floral aromas explode from the glass. Orange blossom, jasmine and rich apricot are underscored by darker wet stone, and lifted back up by baking spices and fresh citrus. Very floral on the palate with stone fruit flavors of peach and apricot, surrounded by lemon and lime. Fresh, crisp and easy to drink.

Deep ruby core and rim. Bright ripe cherry and roasted plum aromas are surrounded by warm caramel, chocolate and a hint of sage. Ripe fruit on the front palate with lush black cherry and plum dominating. The fruit drops a bit on the mid-palate as tannins build. Blackberry and baking spices come in on the finish.

Medium lemon yellow core with a clear rim. Ripe yellow pear is accented by citrus aromas of lemon and mandarin orange. Tropical mango notes are surrounded by wafting creamy vanilla toast. Very ripe and bold in the mouth. Juicy mandarin orange, yellow pear and mango lead to some tangy pink grapefruit on the finish with a good dose of lingering creamy vanilla.

Medium ruby core with a pale pink rim. Ripe and brambly aromas of wild blackberry and boysenberry are joined by spicy cola, red cherry and a hint of smoky peat. Soft entry on the palate, with restrained and elegant fruit. Strawberry and red cherry lead to raspberry on the mid-palate. Rather smooth and delicate with a floral note of rose petals and touch of earth on the finish. Smooth and very well balanced.

Bright ruby color in the glass. Youthful aromas of raspberry, red cherry and blackberry with a touch of vanilla. A tiny hint of sugar on the palate makes the fruit very juicy. Lush raspberry and blackberry are supported by a hint of ripe tannins. The fruit is balanced fairly well by a little scorched earth and vanilla on the finish.

Very pale lemon color with a clear rim. Huge, explosive aromas flow from the glass. Spicy and floral with orange blossom and jasmine floating over ripe lime citrus. A bit more muted on the palate. Sweet herbal marjoram surrounds tangy lemon and lime with a lingering wet stone note on the finish.

Dark ruby core with a tiny garnet rim. Sweet black and red cherry fruits lurk under bright, expressive wild flowers, a touch of sage and ripe plum. Chalky and bold tannins support the body of the wine. A core of dark chocolate, earth and minerals are surrounded by sweet black cherry and plums. Chewy and full-bodied with a long, lingering mocha finish.
