“Fragrant and refined, this elegant red offers enticing scents of woodland berry, pressed rose, violet, and culinary spice. The polished focused palate delivers ripe Marasca cherry, raspberry compote, star anise, and clove set against precise fine-grained tannins. Drink 2020–2030” ~93 Wine Enthusiast.
