Fermented in stainless steel and aged for 18 months in a mix of French and American oak, this is a beautifully composed wine with balance, energy, and tension. It bursts from the glass with dark berry, black currant, and black cherry fruit, laced with hints of vanilla, bay leaf, and tobacco. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, it showcases a lovely floral lift that weaves through succulent dark fruit, rich baking spices, and velvety tannins with a chocolaty edge. The finish is long and satisfying, underpinned by a wet slate minerality that adds depth and finesse.
