Inky black fruit and wild herbs surge from the glass with impressive force. The whole cluster fermentation builds savory complexity beneath waves of blackberry and cassis. Firm tannins anchor the wine's natural power while maintaining elegance. A brooding expression that captures the rugged intensity of Corralitos terroir.
