WineSaint
Dark cherry and spice flow with unexpected grace, the 2015's warmth coaxing early charm from this typically stern site. Floral notes weave through the core, while supple tannins replace Arborina's usual youthful grip. Cedar and earthy tobacco add layers to an unusually approachable expression.
