This wine has turned out far better than expected from barrel tastings. Open-knit, easy to taste and understand, it possesses adequate acidity, some tannin, and a medium-bodied, spicy, cherry-scented nose, adequate flavor concentration, and a touch of toasty new oak. Lightweight yet pleasant, it can be enjoyed over the next 2-5 years.
