This blend of Merlot and Sangiovese has fresh and attractive, red fruited aromas of cherry, currant, rose floral, sweet spices, and cinnamon. It's medium-full bodied with very good structure, dry with a crunchy mouthfeel and lovely aroma replays, plus captivating clove and cinnamon notes on the flavour profile. It has very good acidity, ripe tannins with good tannic structure, while savoury earth and woodsy notes linger on the long-lasting finish. Tasted Sept. 2024.
