Lively sweet cherry aromas are joined by notes of dried herbs, fall spice and a touch of talc in this well constructed wine, and draws you in for a sip that shows firm structure and bright acidity, translating the fruit and herb seamlessly. It finishes dry, and promises to develop real elegance as the oak integrates with extended aging. Spicy pork tenderloin will work nicely.
