Rich and immediately gratifying, with dark fruit and spice flowing generously across the palate. The whole-cluster component brings an earthy, herbal complexity that elevates the wine beyond simple fruit. Medium-bodied with soft tannins, though it loses some momentum mid-palate. Cellar time should help it gain cohesion and depth.
