In the glass, you’ll be captivated by its round, intense flavor profile of black berries and peppery notes. Firm tannins contribute to the wine’s overall harmony, followed by a lingering, fresh finish. It has it all!

About the wine:

Tasted from the barrel. A juicy wine with appealing acidity and firm tannins. The fruit is supple, contrasting with the dark, intense character of the tannins. This wine will need time to develop.
