WineSaint
Rich and heady, this shows the vintage's warmth in waves of honeyed stone fruit and white flowers. The texture is almost unctuous, carrying intense flavors of candied citrus peel and dried herbs. A dramatic departure from the appellation's typically restrained style, built more for immediate pleasure than contemplation.
