Appearance: Deep ruby red to garnet.

Nose: Aromas of ripe red and black fruits such as cherries, plums, and blackberries, with hints of spices, herbs, and earthy notes.

Palate: Full-bodied and structured, with flavors of dark fruit, black pepper, licorice, and garrigue (the wild herbs and scrubland of the region). The wines often display a velvety texture, balanced acidity, and firm tannins.

Finish: Long and lingering, with layers of complexity and a sense of terroir.
