WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
Bright ruby red color. Intense notes of red fruits such as strawberries, cherries, fresh figs, and especially ripe raspberries with layers of herbal notes of mint, basil, and spices, such as pepper. This particularly cool year boosted the expression and juiciness of this wine. The palate is crisp and juicy, with tannins that reflect the cool temperatures of the season.
TASTING NOTES:
Lots of red fruit here with redcurrants, cherries and currant leaves. Juicy, medium-bodied palate with fresh acidity and a strawberry-driven finish. Pristine, simple and very drinkable. Nice fruit and nothing is overdone.
