WineSaint
Dense baking spice and forest floor aromas give way to concentrated wild strawberry and orange peel on the palate. The tannins are firm but refined, providing excellent structure for the wine's intense fruit core. A mineral thread runs through the long finish, adding complexity to the persistent berry flavors. Still youthful and needs a decade to fully develop.
