WineSaint
Pale and ethereal, with tart red fruit and earthy undertones. The structure feels taut and linear, driven by bright acidity rather than fruit weight. Mocha and dried herbs weave through a finish that's precise but lacks generosity. Classic cool-climate expression that may soften with time.
