The 2021 Stratum Red unfolds in the glass with a dark ruby hue hinting at its undercurrent of volcanic energy, offering a vibrant chorus of black cherry, raspberry and wild herbs wrapped in an iron‑rich sanguine note. On the palate it conveys layered plum and pomegranate with chalky mineral tannins that extend into a lingering, structured finish, promising graceful evolution over the next several years.
