Deep crimson in the glass, this Syrah-dominant blend is generously laced with Grenache to deliver richness wrapped in subtlety. The nose is fruit-forward and inviting — ripe and stewed strawberry, plum, and blueberry layered with baking spices, vanilla pastry dough, and a touch of perfumed florals. The palate is incredibly smooth and lush, echoing the fruit-driven aromatics with finely integrated tannins and a soft, juicy finish. A hint of warm spice and savory leather rounds it out, making this wine dangerously easy to love — seamless, generous, and undeniably charismatic.
