Tasting Notes

A feral note on the nose, both musky and earthy, speaks to the Syrah and Mourvèdre in this red blend. Vibrant red fruits from Grenache elevate the profile and lend a pinch of saline seasoning to the blood-iron core. A full-bodied, dense, unfiltered expression of Crete’s primal character.
