Shimmering ruby-red. An expressive bouquet evokes red fruit preserves, potpourri and exotic spices, and a smoky mineral topnote builds with air. Bright and energetic in the mouth, offering spice-accented Chambord, cherry, floral pastille and succulent herb flavors that show excellent detail and solid thrust. Finishes with smooth, harmonious tannins, a hint of vanilla and strong, floral-driven persistence.

Very delicate and supple, with an almost rosélike color, and flavors of cherry pastry and dried berry backed by glistening acidity. Lithe and juicy on the finish, with toasty notes. Drink now. 978 cases made.
