Medium-bodied and fruit-forward, this wine opens with aromas of ripe plum and black currant, followed by layers of blackberry and a subtle lift of mint. On the palate, its texture is supple with well-integrated tannins and a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. Earthy undertones of cedar and dusty soil bring depth to the finish, which remains balanced and pleasingly dry.
