The color is a deep garnet. The inviting nose has black cherries, warm baking spices, crushed stones, earthy underbrush, dark chocolate and dried flowers. This wine has medium body with soft to moderate tannins and great acidity. Ripe cranberry, red cherry and strawberry fruit flavors and spices jump out quickly on the palate with minerals and underbrush coming in later. The finish has nice length with a dried floral note.

The grapes were destemmed, which accounts for the purity of fruit and soft tannins.
