Color on this one is ruby red and pretty opaque. Super long legs that slowly drip down the glass for minutes after swirling. Tart cherry aroma with a faint impression of rosemary tucked away in the background. On the first sip I get lots of fresh herbs…rosemary, thyme, basil…but it very quickly passes into tart tropical fruits. Both of the notes together come together for a nice acid pineapple flavor. The body starts of velvety and transforms into some nice drying tannins. The finish is like spicy ginger and pleasantly burns down to the pit of my stomach. A fantastic wine, hope to grab another bottle of this someday.
