Tasting Characteristics
Attractive light-pink colour with onion skin nuances. Characteristic aromas of dried jasmine, red fruits and star anise. At the same time, the strong presence of Rainier Cherries aromas keeps the nose very fresh, which is also achieved by the excellent acidity on the palate. Add a few marine and peppery notes here and you'll understand why its vibrancy not only reflexes the thickness of the wine but also dominates in a sophisticated yet gripping ensemble.
