There’s a subtle candy-like element to this wine’s pretty nose that recalls vanilla and cherries sprinkled with dried flowers and green herbs. The wine has a lean, compact feel in the mouth and refreshes the palate thanks to its blueberry flavors and crisp close.

This wine (with the maximum percentage of foreign grapes added to the blend) has a broad, meaty mouthfeel with loads of spice and background notes that recall smoked bacon and ripe black cherry. It offers a bit of sweetness and loads of chewy, flavor-rich succulence.
