Review:
A bouquet of ripe red berries and subtle minerals greets the senses. Flavors of cranberry, strawberry, and watermelon mingle with a hint of chalky spice on the palate. Crisp and clean with a nice tart highlight, this wine can pair equally well with pork chops, sweet and sour chicken, or just a sunny afternoon.
