«Light ruby in hue, this wine reveals a powerful and complex nose, melding cherry skin, honeycrisp apple, white strawberry and baked rhubarb accented by delicate violet potpourri and sweet spices. Refreshing acidity and persistent minerality lead to a long, light-fruited finish, where soft red fruits and brisk acidiy give lenght to a black tea finish. »
