Sommelier's Note

"This Mourvèdre-dominant blend, elegant and generous, opens with an intense nose of black fruits, enhanced by warm notes of cinnamon and ginger. On the palate, suppleness combines with present yet silky tannins, extending nobly into a long finish of blackberry. A true moment of indulgence!"
