Wine Expert Note:

On the nose, Wanderer's Heart offers a bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle floral notes. There is also a hint of spice, adding depth and intrigue to the aroma. The palate is equally impressive, with a medium to full body and velvety tannins. The flavors of red berries continue to shine, complemented by a touch of black pepper and a hint of earthiness. The wine displays excellent balance and structure, with a long and satisfying finish.
