Pale strawberry colored, with a watery sheen (12.5% ABV).  The nose has medium intensity aromas of lemon pith, tangerine zest, macerated cherry, white strawberry, orange blossom, and a touch of crunchy cranberry.  The palate is dry, with high acidity, and a medium (-) body.  Medium (+) intensity flavors are citrus driven, but the strawberry/cranberry notes are present.  The finish is medium (+) in length and zesty from the acidity, which keeps the wine very refreshing.  On the very back end there is a touch of bitterness, probably from the skin contact, it’s an interesting addition to this delightful wine.  A blend of Grenache (39%), Consult (26%), Syrah (18%), and Vermentino (17%).  I paid under $9 for it and will go with 88 points, making it a 4 star effort to enjoy on a hot summer’s day.  Drink now.  Salut….
