The palate is medium-full-bodied with fresh acidity and tastes like wet rock, straw, honey, and sea salt.

TASTING NOTES
The wine pours a lovely deep burgundy color with a nose of cherry, cranberry
& rhubarb.
On the palate, pretty cherry
flavors mix with teaberry and spices.
The finish shows red cherry with ripe,
abundant tannins framed by bright
acidity.
Aromas od melon, starfruit, Asian pear and scented talc offer an attractive introduction. The palate is rich and satisfying, with flavors of lemon meringue, kumquat and white nectarine. The finish is pleasingly zesty, with a hint of minerality.
