From barrel in brewery. Appearance is clear magenta with no sparkle or head. Aroma is tons of oak barrel and grape, milder tart fruit. Taste is moderately strong tart but balanced with the barrel and sweet grape so not over the top. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, interesting. Aroma could mellow a bit but the flavor is pretty well balanced.
