About the wine

The bouquet is complex, unfolding with layers of deep dark fruit and subtle spice undertones. Lush blueberry, bright red raspberry, and ripe plum drive the palate, while soft notes of toasted oak and smooth vanilla emerge through the mid-palate. The texture is plush and full, with polished tannins that carry through to a poised, lingering finish.
