"Pale, brick-tinged red color. Suave, floral nose hints at dried rose, lavender, talc and wild strawberry. Understated, elegant and complex, with dusty red berry and floral flavors framed by very fine tannins that do not dry the palate. Finishes supple and long, showing an intriguing, old-school blend of dried fruits and wild herbs."
