NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, inviting aromas of sun-ripe strawberry, raspberry tart, dried cranberry, and pomegranate lead the way.The palate offers flavors of ripe cherries and rich earthy tones, with a medium-bodied, well-balanced profile complemented by baking spices, sweet tobacco, and subtle oak hints. Silky tannins contribute to a long, lingering finish, showcasing the wine's elegance and complexity.
