Tasting Notes
A wine possessing deep, rich color. The nose reflects
aromas of baking spices and blueberries while the mouth
hints of raspberries and apricots. The very light influence
of oak allows the true essence of the fruit be revealed.
The wine is very soft in the mouth with well-integrated
tannins that define a very balanced wine with an elegant,
seamless finish.
