  • Complete description

    Vintage Description:

    It's a medium-bodied and well-balanced blend that opens with bright red plum, raspberry and hints of oak spice. A plush and fruit-driven palate offers plenty of berry flavors alongside energetic acidity. Rosemary notes add freshness to the medium finish. (Jesica Vargas - Wine Enthusiast, 1st April 2023)
