Gorgeous energy and classic Grenache expression. Wild cherry and garrigue herbs flow with impressive depth and concentration. Round, generous tannins provide excellent structure without overwhelming the bright red fruit core. The finish shows beautiful integration with lingering spice and mineral notes.
