Bright, vibrant, light garnet color in the glass.  The nose is fresh and intense with dusty, dark raspberry and sweet floral/herbal notes.  On the palate the wine has mouth filling, medium weight and remains lively with more berries and an earthy forest floor quality.  Fine tannins and a bit of spice from the light use of stems are apparent on the finish as well as a distinctive ocean mist like minerality.
