Tasting Notes
This wine makes a bold statement with its powerful structure and expressive fruit composition. The classic oak character is seamlessly integrated with the fruit and the fresh berry acid gives the wine vibrance and purity of fruit. The firm, polished tannins are in perfect harmony with the wine leaving a lingering fruit sensation and satisfaction.
