Tasting Profile
| Look: | Bright and beautiful with hues that remind us of deep red roses or roasted beets. Tall, branching tears start high up on the glass wall. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Subdued fruit of blackberry, pomegranate and dried blueberry. Underneath these emerges a subtle aroma of roasted parsnip skin and sage. |
| Taste: | Well-structured with subtle wild strawberry, dried blueberry, under-ripe red berry and olallieberry. As the wine breathes, it also reveals dried currant, dusty plum, dried mushrooms and subtle thyme. |
| Finish: | Long, with red fruits that persist (especially at the edges of the palate). Terroir-driven with dried dark flowers. |
