The generous nose has fresh, meaty, black pepper, purple fruit, and violet aromas with wet earthy mineral complexities. On the dry, medium-full bodied palate it is chewy with lovely aroma replays joined by floral notes. It's nicely balanced with fresh and tangy acidity, along with well-structured and gritty textured tannins. Finishes long with spice, black pepper, and earthy mineral notes. Tasted Oct. 2025.
