WineSaint
Wild berry and violet aromatics lead into a wine of surprising grace. The old vines deliver complexity without weight. Crushed herbs, cedar and a whisper of smoke weave through the supple fruit core. Mid-palate elegance with refined tannins that never intrude. Classic expression of what Contra Costa Mataro can achieve.
