WineSaint
Inky and concentrated, showing the mountain's grip with firm tannins that demand patience. Dark cherry and blackberry emerge slowly, joined by white pepper and crushed herbs from the whole stems. The concrete aging preserves pristine fruit while adding mineral backbone. This powerhouse needs cellaring through 2026 to reach its potential.
