    Very pale shell pink. An energetic, "solar" nose of ripe red berries, peach, and pink grapefruit. The palate is concentrated and bright, showing a lovely balance of ripe white peach and zesty citrus. There is a slight, refreshing spritz that complements the juicy, wild red berry acidity and the whisper of rich fruit sweetness. The finish is tight and serious, marked by a fine blue mineral length and a touch of firm phenolics. Classic Provence; utterly thirst-quenching, energetic, and perfectly balanced between ripe fruit and structural weight.
