"Seductive on the nose with wild strawberries, raspberries, cassis, violets and freshly ground peppercorns. Medium body with finely grained tannins. Suave and balanced with a velvety texture complementing the creamy core of bright berries and cherries at the center. Focused with a harmonious finish. Drink or hold."
