Not 100% convinced by this wine. Red fruit, tomato and a strong balsamic note dominate the nose. Unfortunately the alcohol delivers a bit of heat on the mid-palate. I had expected better of it.

Raspberry, black cherry intertwined with bright floral and intense mineral notes are found in the nose. The wine has great texture with fine grained fruit based tannins. Flavors of red raspberry and plum on the palate with a s stoney, earthy accent. Great length to the mineral driven bright finish.

120 year-old volcano vines. Dried strawberry, eucalyptus and tarragon. Light and silky with a core of black rocks.
