A delicate flavored wine, with a dark cherry color and subtle aromas of fresh spices, cranberries and cherries. Its one year aging in oak barrels gives it structure, adding notes of vanilla, cloves, licorices and caramel. It has a soft and long aftertaste that makes it an easy drinking for any occasion.
