This wine is fruit-driven, subtly influenced by medium and light toast French oak. The oak is very supportive of the fruit and gives fullness and length to the palate. Complexity is achieved through barrel fermentation, partial malolactic fermentation, and lees stirring. The nose shows abundant stone fruit, sweet spices, and brioche. The palate is rich and full, with mouthwatering vibrancy and length.
