The palate is where this wine truly shines. It displays a harmonious balance between fruitiness and earthiness, with flavors of red berries, plum, and a touch of black tea. The silky-smooth tannins provide a velvety texture, while the vibrant acidity adds freshness and structure.
The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of red fruit flavors and a subtle touch of oak. This wine is well-suited for pairing with a variety of dishes, including roasted poultry, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto.
