Clear and focused, with raspberry and edgy spice aromas to the nose. The palate doesn't bring a whole bunch of meat or heft, but it is clean, racy and food-friendly. Flavors of red berries and pepper are normal and expected, while the finish is dry and lean.

This juicy red offers cherry, cola and light leaf notes in an open-knit texture, supple and fresh. This is light, but nicely balanced. Drink now through 2013. 90,000 cases imported.
