Pomerol, France

WineSaint
Blue clay terroir shines through with exceptional aromatics of wild cherry and earthy minerals. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and silky texture, though the finish shows the vintage's inherent restraint. Sage and forest floor notes add complexity to the red fruit core. Among 1999's more successful Pomerols despite the year's challenges.
