Tasting Notes

Elegant aromas of black cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, and pomegranate are layered with notes of rose petals, forest floor, black tea, baking spice, cedar, and subtle earthy minerality. The palate is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and finely textured red fruit, leading to a long, refined finish accented by hints of spice and savory complexity.
