This is at once cooler and more elegant with its pretty combination of violet, red cherry, earth and spice whiffs. The sleek, focused and more evidently mineral driven medium bodied flavors possess good verve as well as fine intensity on the beautifully well balanced finale that evidences just a touch of rusticity. Lovely.

palate coating and serious finish that exhibits excellent persistence

understated and refined
