Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-red color.
The bouquet on the nose is rich and complex, with aromas of violets, red berries such as raspberry and red currant, and a fresh hint of red orange.
On the palate, it is dry, fresh, and full-bodied, with smooth tannins.
A very long, tasty finish with pleasant minerality and flavors of violets and berries.
