Fragrant dark-berried fruits waft out of the glass, complemented by fresh spices and a touch of dried herbs. Medium-bodied and playfully juicy on the palate, the pleasant fruit profile is bolstered by smooth, supple tannins and delicate acidity. There's a persistent crushed pebble quality to the finish, with one last burst of spicy fruits having the last word on this wine. - Charlie Arnedt
