On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of ripe cherries and raspberries, complemented by subtle earthy undertones and a whisper of vanilla from careful oak aging. The palate is exceptionally balanced, with a medium body that provides a smooth and elegant experience, while the acidity brings a refreshing liveliness to each sip. Tannins are soft and gracefully integrated, allowing the fruit-forward character to shine through, making this wine accessible and enjoyable. The finish is delightful, with a dry profile that invites another taste, highlighting the wine's craftsmanship and the exceptional terroir of Monterey County.
