Very accessible drink, balanced, with no one flavor predominating. The subtle complex cherry flavor contrasts with the wine undertones of the vermouth and the citrus.

Sub'd left over rye/cherry juice / spices liquid used for making cocktail cherries for the Cherry Heering. Too strongly spiced. Added 1 oz of Zucca. Yummy.
