Tasting Note
Color: Bright crimson with a garnet rim
Nose: Lifted aromas of cassis, cedar and dried herbs.
Taste: Complex flavours of wild strawberries layered with earthy forest floor notes with a vibrant line of acidity that carries the chewy, burnt caramel tannin structure to an even, balanced finish.
