A generous, fruity bouquet with varietal signatures of cherry and red apple skin, along with yellow plum and some soft barrel spice, followed by earthy notes. Fleshy, fruity, and dry on the palate, with a youthful intensity driven by tannins and acidity. Fresh, ripe, and tart red fruit flavours, led by cherry and plum. The mix of earth, spice, and acidity presents a youthful, taut wine, suggesting that cellar time is worthwhile as the wine continues to settle. Best drinking from late 2026 through 2030.
