Tasting Notes

Appearance

Medium ruby with a clear, translucent rim.

Nose

Wild strawberry, red cherry, and raspberry lead, with notes of forest floor, dried herbs, and a hint of iron mineral. A complex, terroir-driven bouquet.

Palate

Finish

Long and mineral, with lingering notes of red fruit, forest floor, and fine tannin.
