Savory aromas of wild blackberries, cedar, cassia bark and dried herbs on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and focused acidity, giving notes of dark cherries, mulberry bush and dried rose petals with an oceanic saltiness. Nice balance and structure from 15% whole-cluster fermentation.
