Lovely aromas of peaches, citrus fruits, and gooseberries play among hints of wild grass and herbs on the nose. The palate comes alive with bright flavors of passion fruit, peach, and grapefruit nestled with traces of wet stone and fresh herbs. Baked white fish, like halibut or tilapia would make for a joyous companion.

Review:
Brilliantly ripe strawberries and cherries are coupled with expressions of cola, clove, and herbs on the nose. A nice core of bright red berry fruit takes shape on the palate with some herbal and earth notes playing in the background. Lively, offering a food friendly acidity, it's a wine that needs something like grilled pork tenderloin to be fully apprenticed.

A mix of cherry, cranberry, strawberry, and spice rises up from a swirled glass. Plenty of red fruit envelops the palate alongside inclinations of smoke, clove, and earth. Fruit-driven with a friendly acidity, one could envision pairing this with grilled salmon.
