Rich aromas of dark red cherry, black cherry and black currant are intertwined with baking spices and sweet oak. The palate bursts with vibrant fresh fruit elevated by lively acidity, while supple tannins and smooth texture reveal layers of spice and subtle oak undertones. This generous, well-balanced wine shows impressive depth, anchored by the structure of its Cabernet Sauvignon core with a long, mouth-filling finish.
