On the nose, smoky flavors of wild berries, crushed blackberries, matchstick, and a touch of smoked meat lead to flavors of dark red fruits, briny olive, bacon fat, and incense on the palate. The wine’s gritty-yet-integrated tannins lead to a savory, fruit-tinged finish. Of our three cuvées, this is the wine to enjoy in its youth, as its striking balance between fruit and savory characteristics shines in early years.
