Wine Expert Note:

Karas Red offers a complex and layered experience, starting with its deep, inviting ruby hue. The nose is rich with aromas of dark fruits like blackberries and plums, elegantly intertwined with notes of vanilla, chocolate, and a subtle hint of spice, derived from aging in both new and used oak barrels. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and rich, delivering a symphony of flavors that echo its aromatic complexity. The dark fruit notes are complemented by undertones of mocha, leather, and a touch of earthiness, leading to a well-rounded and persistent finish. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, supporting the wine's structure and making it suitable for aging.
