Review:

A lovely bouquet of red berries is accented by notes of pepper, minerals, and a hint of vanilla on the nose. A sip unfurls flavors of strawberry and raspberry that flow into suggestions of spice, cedar, and minerals. A lighter wine that still has plenty of flavor, its red fruit is famed by chalky minerals and nice highlights of spice. Try a bottle if you like that style.
