Light ruby in colour, the wine shows savoury characters with freshly turned earth and spice that you would expect from a cooler vintage. A lifted perfume offers intrigue, with dried herbs and berries also present. The fruit profile is more in the red spectrum, with red cherry and cranberries. The palate is soft and juicy, with silky tannin making the wine immediately appealing.
