TASTING NOTES
- Nose – Bright aromas of raspberry, strawberry, red cherry, wild herbs, floral notes, and a touch of black pepper and spice.
- Taste – Medium-bodied and juicy with flavors of ripe red berries, bramble fruit, savory herbs, and gentle peppery spice, supported by smooth tannins and lively acidity.
- Finish – Clean and moderately long, leaving lingering red fruit, subtle earthiness, and a delicate peppery spice.
