Sample
A deep fruited nose with dark cherry, raisin and blackberry alongside understated herbaceous notes. A juicy medium to full bodied wine that showcases it's cool climate roots when compared to some of the fruit bombs you will see from the variety in warmer climates. There is a firm backbone of drying but ripe tannin that combines with juicy acidity, dark cherry fruit and savoury edged plum provide ample depth of fruit that flows through to the finish that's joined by some charcuterie notes.
