Fruit is defined and concentrated; cranberry, strawberry, roses, black tea, beets, stones. Bright acid and soft tannins make this super approachable. Delicious stuff

So much happening here in this juice. It is clean and pure and the nose is of northern rhone with the soul of cross between Beaujolais and the Canary Islands. This is very definitive of the brand in full glory.
