Michel Rolland is the consultant for this wine, and it shows in the hallmark dark purple color, the extracted ripe fruit and concentrated dry tannins. But it is certainly a well-crafted wine, that enough structure to make it ageworthy.

A fresh, full-bodied wine that stays on its lees after fermentation to give it a creamy broadness to go with the layer of acidity and ripe, crisp fruit.

This is a full, ripe wine, with tannins that are already well integrated into the red fruits. It’s rich and full, packed with delicious ripeness. A wine for pleasure in the next few months, but it will also age well for 3–4 years.
