The wine was aged with 15% new French oak, a careful choice to showcase the vibrant fruit character rather than dominate it with heavy oak influence. This restrained use of oak enhances the wine's structure while maintaining a bright, fruit-forward profile.

Tasting Notes
This medium to full-bodied wine offers an inviting bouquet of red fruit, jam, and a hint of graphite. On the palate, flavors of dark cherry intertwine with a touch of minerality, creating a layered and complex experience. The balance of fruit, subtle oak, and mineral notes leads to a long, elegant finish that highlights the strengths of this Rhône-style blend.
