Garnet in the glass. On the nose, vibrant black currant and juniper berry aromas mingle with layers of new leather and black pepper spice. On the palate, the wine showcases a rich medley of ripe blackberry and dried apricots, enhanced by a juicy acidity that keeps it fresh and lively. There is an earthy complexity with soft, ripe tannins that give wayto lingering flavors of berry jam and savory herb. The aging in American oak barrels imparts a touch of sweetness, along with a toasted edge that deepens the wine’s character without overwhelming its natural fruit-forward nature.
