Light aromas of red cherry and raspberry can be discovered upon deep nosing, but the fresh garrigue, tree bark and raw cocoa nib notes steal the show. A hint of vanilla-strawberry sweetens up the close. Drink now.

Moderately intense on the nose with dominating earthy, forest floor notes backed by red plum guts and cherry along with a hint of vanilla ice cream with raspberry sauce swirled in. Dusty tannins flesh out the palate and the finish offers some mild black pepper spice.

Mushy black fruit characteristics lead on the nose and mouth, and don’t really subside until the slightly astringent finish takes hold. Medium weight with a firm structure; drink now.

Green and vegetal with green pepper, asparagus, and mushy black plum skins thoughout the nose and palate. The mouth is round with soft tannins and low acidity.

The bright and inviting nose is loaded with lively red fruit, including raspberries and cherries, along with a soft hint of vanilla. Incredibly lightweight with soft fruit flavors; easy to drink.
