Bright red. Intense red berry and floral scents are sharpened by notes of smoky minerals and white pepper. Sweet, penetrating and pure, offering lively raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a touch of blood orange. Shows excellent focus and lift on the finish, which is nicely firmed by silky tannins and a nervy mineral note.
Vivid red. Spicy, mineral-driven aromas of red berries, spicecake and lavender show impressive purity and power. A racy, sweet midweight that offers pliant strawberry and raspberry flavors, with zesty minerality adding lift and spine. A floral quality builds with air and carries through a spicy, tannin-free finish. Very elegant, in an almost pinot noir-like way.
