Producer’s notes
Deep red, with a magenta brightness at the rim. A complex spectrum of dark berries on the nose, with blackberry, blueberry and boysenberry. The palate is coated in blue fruit, with a viscous, marbled texture that is also supple and juicy; acidity tightens the wine around a core of graphite and hazelnut.
