Our Take: Bright and intensely aromatic, this opens with fresh notes of tart red cherry, crushed raspberries, and a delicate lift of wild violet. On the palate, it delivers a juicy, mouth-watering core of red fruit balanced by Vallana’s trademark energetic acidity and an understated whisper of earthy minerality. Light-bodied, supple, and refreshingly unburdened by heavy oak, it finishes clean with vibrant, fruit-driven elegance.
