There's a bit of reductive funk to start off on this wine but there's also plenty of ripe red-berry fruit, spice and meaty undertones. A good amount of cola-like wood influence is present too, which carries through to the palate and feels a touch bitter. Tannins are sinewy and chewy, wound around tangy raspberry and lots of crunchy acidity.

Candied cherry and cream soda flavors are easy-drinking and appealing, set on a smooth frame, with pops of spice and fresh herbs that linger.
