WineSaint
Wild cherry and crème de cassis flow with captivating depth, lifted by lavender and crushed herbs. Emmanuel Reynaud's masterful touch shows in the wine's mineral backbone and smoky undertones. Medium-bodied yet intensely flavored, with zesty acidity that carries the finish beautifully. Classic northern Rhône character in accessible form.
