Red mulberry and white chocolate offer sweetness. Palate: Raspberry and white chocolate generosity persists on the palate. Tannins appear effortless and enmeshed within fruit, namely white cherry and rhubarb. Oak sits in the background and layered behind crunchy acidity. Peak Drinking: Now - 2025 Last Tasted: July 2018
