Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep ruby-garnet with a warm, glowing core.
Nose
Ripe red and dark fruit — cherry, raspberry, and plum — lead, with notes of garrigue (wild herbs), black pepper, and a hint of leather. Classic southern Rhône character.
Palate
Medium-full bodied with silky tannins and a vibrant, food-friendly acidity. The palate is generous and complex, with layers of red fruit, spice, and earth that build to a long, elegant finish.
Finish
Long and spicy, with lingering notes of red fruit, garrigue, and fine tannin.
