Thin texture limits the wine's fullness. | Earthy and quietly savory, with dark-berry flavor, mouthwatering acidity and soft tannins. A muted nose and slightly watery texture limit its depth, though t… | Cherry, cranberry, dried rose, and light earth — tart red fruit, soft tannin, moderate acidity, a slightly thin middle, cranberry and faint spice on the finish. |

| Likeness | Highly convincing in aroma and flavor, with a distinctly vinous character that carries through the finish. Thin texture is the principal limitation. | Recognizably red-wine-like, with muted earthy aromas, darker berry fruit and a gently drying finish.

The palate is less convincing: tart fruit and soft tannin on a slightly thin frame. |
