• Despite its light touch, this is fruity and full, with its blackberry fruit dominating the warm spice note and acidity.  Soft tannins keep the wine together.
• When first assessing the wine by smell, I first noted that it did not smell incredibly sweet and also may have had a slight pungent aroma to it.  When tasting this wine, it had a very nice, fruity taste with a little bite at first, but then with a little bitter aftertaste.  It was light on tannins as well, which I enjoy because it doesn't leave my tongue feeling like sandpaper.
• No food tasting with this wine.
