This is fermented and aged in Kvevri (Amphorae) for nine months with no additional SO2 added (i.e. a "natural wine").  Purple/ruby in color, opaque and bright.  The nose has cranberries, cherries, clay and an interested fresh "twig" note to it.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  Good acidity.  On the palate, tart cherries with slight clay notes.  Some depth.  Good finish.  A nice wine that is drinking well now.  Good on its own but better with food.  A nice choice with a potato and cheese casserole.  Drink over the next five to eight years.  A great value on a bit different wine.
