tasting note: "An initial whiff of reduction dissipates to display tart red cherry on this wine's subtle nose. The palate comes in with crunch, showing edges of iron oxide and pepper made vivid by brightness and freshness. Underneath it all is a firm, fine texture. A graceful and lasting framework of tannin lets the freshness and fruit shine in all their elegance."
