Aromas of strawberry, cooked strawberries and strawberry seeds may remind you of warm weather and sunshine. In fact, this label says in Latin, "Without sun, nothing." The wine is medium plus in body with primarily red fruits --cranberries and cherries with spices, red raspberry compote, raspberry seeds and cinnamon. This is silky with medium tannins and acid; it's a touch warming on the finish.
