Vibrant and focused, with bright raspberry and cranberry at the forefront framed by a streak of black pepper and savory olive tapenade. The midpalate shows silky, fine-grained tannins and a fresh, floral lift that keeps the wine elegant rather than heavy. Flavor development leans toward a Southern Rhône-style GSM—red-fruit brightness with gentle spice and a subtle meaty depth. Excellent concentration and balance make it versatile by the glass or bottle.

Serve slightly below cellar temp with roasted lamb, herb-crusted pork, or charred vegetables.
