Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 La Bridane prances out of the glass with pretty notes of Morello cherries, plum preserves and rose oil, plus hints of star anise and allspice, with a hint of fallen leaves. The medium-bodied palate delivers plenty of juicy red and black fruit, framed by soft, rounded tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with a spicy kick.
