Hi there

Newbie myself and I also have a gallon of plum wine in secondary right now.
It has the same delicate red color that you describe. Not sure of the
variety of the plums but there are the common purple skin plums that grow
here in Québec. I didn`t really expect a different color as I haven't read
anything that suggested me a different color.
