This ruby-colored wine has an earthy, mushroom-laced nose and a deliciously sweet core of stewed plums, candied cherries and sugar-coated strawberries. While delicious, this silky-textured and medium-bodied wine lacks the complexity, depth, intensity, and length on the finish for a better rating. Drink it over the next 3 years.
