“A spicy red with notes of dried herbs, blackcurrant, and black plums. Delicately crafted on the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and flows through layers of blue fruit, interwoven with lively acidity. Drink now.” (James Suckling 2019)

About the wine:

A spicy red wine with notes of dried herbs, blackcurrant, and black plums. Delicately crafted on the palate, it is medium-bodied to full-bodied, rolling across layers of blueberries intertwined with lively acidity. Best enjoyed now.
