"There's a pleasing tension to this refreshing red, with fine-grained, sculpted tannins and bright acidity. Offers black currant and blackberry flavors, plus a fragrant overtone of cured tobacco, milled white pepper and mineral notes. Well cut and spiced on the finish. Best from 2025 through 2034."
