A juicy but still well-balanced and appropriately structured wine, with red fruit flavors and a deliciously spicy undertone that carries well into the finish. Though full-bodied, it has a lithe quality that should enable it to perform well even on hot days, so will be a good choice to accompany barbecues in the months ahead.
