Tasting Notes
Bitter notes of dried underbrush and hazelnut skin contrast penetrating wild strawberry and cherry preserves. Matured 18 months in neutral oak and stainless steel, it’s a rich, opulent blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. While plush in mouthfeel, the finish is anchored with firm, drying tannins that should meld nicely as it improves through 2030.
