Review
A lightweight, harmonious, easy-drinking red brimming with joy and appeal. The strawberry fruit is pure, fragrant, and has a delicious, moreish quality, much like a light-bodied pinot. The vineyard is over a decade old, and the soils are free-draining decomposed basalt and granite. Maturation occurs in 20% new French oak puncheons, giving welcomed complexity without overshadowing the fruit.
