Default Cranberry wine has turned from pink to orange-ish golden yellow

Hi!
I made my first 6 gallons of Cranberry wine late 2004, it was bottled in
September 2005 after following the Jack Keller web site's recipe. As
racking occurred - it got lighter and lighter pink. When I bottled it,
it was very pink, light pink, but pink. Now after not looking at it for
4 months, today I retrieved a bottle and it is now a beautiful golden
with a hint of orange.

Is this normal?

So I took a 375ml bottle and chilled it, and poured a taste. Not bad,
still a little harsh, but much improved from when I bottled it. (It was
so harsh I assumed this would be throw away wine in a couple years.
smile)I didn't sweeten it, just let it go dry. I target November for the
earliest to try again, good thing I bottled a lot of 375's. smile. I am
patient and can wait years if need be. smile.

Just wondered if anyone else with cranberry wine had it change to this
color?

thanks. DAve
