Tasting Notes

Think ruby-bright glow with a floral twist—violet, peony, and red‑fruit syrup take the lead, then a fresh and silky sip slides in with raspberry, cherry, and a mineral zip. The finish stays curiously bright, fruit-forward, and persistent—as if this wine just showed you how to flirt properly.
