Elegant and refined with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle violet notes. The palate reveals bright red fruit complemented by earthy undertones of forest floor and delicate spice. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity that provides excellent structure. The mineral-driven finish is persistent, showing the distinctive gravelly terroir character with hints of white pepper and dried herbs.
