100% carbonic maceration: tons of banana and cotton candy. Juicy strawberry, raspberry, and plum. Licorice mid palate. A touch of clove and rosemary. Well structured and balanced. 85% Carignan, 10% Alicante Bouchet, 3% Zinfandel, and 2%

Wow! Vibrant, generous fruit, but piercingly fresh. Tart bananas and red fruit.

Strawberry bubblegum nose with super intense brightness on the palate. The first fay it had a pretty noticeable cough-syrup thing going on which calmed down within a fee hours.

Firm acid on entry, black cherry and cassis fruit (it was much more expressive when young), pleasant but mellow finish.
