Significantly better than the 2020 version. Pink, with slight orange hues. The nose is nice with watermelons and strawberries. Medium bodied. Light tannins. Solid acidity. On the palate, more cherries with some cranberries. Nice finish. This is nice on its own and worked well with light foods and cheeses. Drink over the next couple of years.

Purple in color. Dark. This is sold as a Rosé, but looks like a red wine. The nose, however, is strawberries. Light tannins. Medium bodied. Slightly viscous with moderate acidity. The palate tastes ripe with strawberries and black cherries. Over all, it seems disjointed. Probably better on its own, it didn't seem to work well with traditional foods. Drink now.
