Medium ruby ​​color displaying youthful clarity and vibrancy in the glass. A lifted, aromatic nose with red currant, sour cherry and wild raspberry from the Gamza component, layered with subtle herbal tones and graphite from the Cabernet Franc. Hints of violets, crushed pepper and a touch of damp earth give it a distinctly cool-climate character. Light- to medium-bodied with bright acidity and silky tannins. The red fruit core is fresh and juicy—think pomegranate, cranberry and tart cherry—balanced by the savory edge of dried herbs, black tea and a hint of green bell pepper. The Cabernet Franc adds structure and depth without overpowering the delicate nature of Gamza. Charming and food friendly, serve slightly chilled with roasted poultry, grilled vegetables or soft-rind cheeses.
