WineSaint
Coiled and brooding, with layers of black cherry, wet earth and cedar wrapped in firm tannins. Whole cluster fermentation brings herbal complexity and textural lift to the structured frame. The fruit feels compressed now, but there's impressive depth waiting beneath the surface. Time will unlock its potential. Drink 2024-2032.
