This deeply volcanic expression from Hamel Family Wines offers a profoundly mineral-laced Cabernet–Merlot blend that feels both refined and energetic, with violets, dark cherry and cassis counterpointed by an iron‑tinged earthiness and cedar nuance, all framed by supple, chalk‑textured tannins and refreshing vibrancy.
