Medium ruby to a ruby rim.
Earthy, mushroomy reductiveness. Slight white pepper. Bright fruit. There's a lightness to it. Almost a peachiness (it would make sense given the Viognier). There's a transparency to the fruit.
Medium plus body, high alcohol (15%), elevated acid (possibly acidified), soft tannins with no phenolic bitterness (basket pressed to avoid bitterness from Viognier).
