Spicy scents, red cherry, whiff of cranberry too. Pleasing, gentle start. Crisp texture and find, satiny tannins, a little pinched with acidity to close but feels fresh and invigorating as a style. Some clove marches in, sappy cherry to taste, good length too. A little sense of pinot noir 101 but has charm.

The Real Review, 29 January, 2019
Bright, medium to full red-purple colour. Charming cherry fruit-driven aromas, fresh and bright with a hint of smokiness; the palate tight and firm and slightly tannin-bitter. It needs food and warming up. Good potential, quite firm and youthful at this juncture.
