Hints of cedar, spice, and light floral notes add dimension. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of tart red berries, cranberry, and plum skin, supported by fine-grained tannins and a touch of savory spice. Notes of leather, dried oregano, and a gentle oak influence provide depth. The finish is clean, structured, and moderately long, with lingering red fruit and herbal nuances.
