Complete description
Vintage Description:
The nose reveals ripe dark-skinned fruits, violets, and a touch of culinary spice. On the soft, hearty palate, juicy sour cherries, spicy blackberries, white pepper, and cloves come through, framed by smooth tannins. It’s balanced by fresh acidity, giving the wine wonderful energy.
