These aromas are further enhanced by subtle hints of spice and earthiness, adding depth and intrigue to the wine. On the palate, this wine exhibits a harmonious balance between its vibrant acidity, firm tannins, and rich fruit flavors. The red fruit character persists, with additional layers of blackberries and plums coming into play.
