Wild cherry and black olive create an almost feral intensity on the nose, with hints of crushed herbs and mineral earth. The palate shows remarkable tension. Bright acidity cuts through concentrated dark fruit while fine-grained tannins provide serious backbone. This builds layers of complexity with each sip, revealing the vineyard's distinctive character.
