Ruby red color and nose of sour cherry, cranberry, Asian spice, and some tree bark. Good texture that is not overblown, but walks a tight rope to stay on this side of Zinfandel. There's a hint of raisiny flavors amid the kirsch and cranberry juice. Alcohol comes off as sticking out a bit and that's really the wine's greatest detraction. Finish is good. This is clearly a vin de plaisir that I don't think will make extremely old bones. Definitely for fans of new world Pinot.
