Vivid salmon pink. Lovely aromas of black fruit and cedar. Concentrated fruit balanced by fine tannin. Lingering notes of spice and dark fruit. Crowd-pleasing and food-friendly.

Vivid salmon pink. Lovely lifted red berries and violet. Full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. The finish is long and savoury. Punches well above its weight.
