Review:

Red berries and a bit of vanilla are most prominent on the nose. Flavors of cherries, raspberries, and cranberries are highlighted on the palate, rounded out by notes of vanilla and woodsy suggestions. A lush, rich wine that’s fruit-driven but far still has some zip, if the Italian counterparts are too bright, try this homegrown version.
