Dark red hue. Perfumed and fresh aromatic dark red cherry, blackberry, and blueberry fruit that reflects beautiful freshness and vibrancy. The CRC smells clean, pure, intense, and fully integrated. The texture is seamless, fresh, and has perfect red and blue fruit flavors. The wine is balanced, feminine, and the fruit is brilliantly interlaced with dusty earth and dried herbs.
