Mad Crush

The nose opens with a dense, sticky compote character, led by ripe strawberry and raspberry preserves layered with leathered blueberry. Woodsy aromatic nuances emerge with air—camphor, cedar cigar box, fresh leather, and delicate lavender blossoms—adding depth and perfumed layers. On the palate, the wine begins with a bright, juicy burst of cranberry, quickly joined by the chew of sun-dried fig. The texture is initially glassy and seamless, carrying the fruit with polish and ease before tightening through the midpalate. Firm, gripping tannins assert themselves on the finish, lending structure and longevity. Additional notes of red currant and a subtle olive tapenade greenness weave through the fruit, creating a complex interplay of freshness, savoriness, and depth.
