Using 43% whole clusters, this has a medium+ to medium-high intensity nose of dark red fruits, cherry, raspberry, currant, cranberry aromas nuanced with herbs, pepper, and spice. All of aromas come through on the delicious, dry, and medium to medium-full bodied palate, and joined by subtle oak spice notes. It's well-structured with light tannins and juicy acidity. Finish is long and juicy. Tasted May 2025.
