Youthful purple. Vibrant, spice-accented red berry and cherry scents, with a floral overtone and a hint of cracked pepper. Sweet black raspberry and lavender pastille flavors show good depth and clarity, with a jolt of white pepper adding back-end cut. The tight, nervy finish features soft tannins and repeating floral character. This unoaked wine delivers impressive value.
