Dense and succulent with vibrant acidity and firm, fine-grained tannins. Flavors of black cherry, blueberry, and plum are complemented by herbal notes of mint and green bell pepper, with hints of cedar oak. The finish is long and lingering, showcasing the wine’s exceptional freshness and potential for aging.
