Aromas of leather, earth, and dried rose petals are layered with notes of ripe raspberry and strawberry. On the palate, vibrant red fruit is framed by firm tannins and refreshing acidity, a hallmark of the variety. Aged for 18 months in 20% new French oak, the wine gains subtle texture and complexity without losing its purity. Time resting in our library has allowed the tannins to soften and the components to knit together, revealing added nuance, balance, and a more expressive sense of place.
