Deep ruby in color, the wine opens with aromas of dark cherry, cassis, and subtle notes of cocoa and graphite. The palate is concentrated yet balanced, showing ripe blackberry, layered spice, and fine-grained tannins shaped by the long, mild 2019 growing season. Even temperatures preserved brightness throughout, giving the wine a refined structure and seamless flow. A long, polished finish leaves impressions of mocha and dried herbs. A natural pairing for grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, or mushroom risotto.
