How this wine feels

This feels medium in weight and soft around the edges. Gentle tannins give light shape, with cherry fruit followed by a little earthy spice. It should suit someone who wants flavour without a firm, drying finish.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
