Every time I taste this site through different top-tier producers, it exceeds expectations, 2022 is no exception.
Aromas & Flavors
Vibrant red cherry, cranberry, and pomegranate with rose petals, baking spice, and a whisper of forest floor. Hints of cola and raspberry pop through as it opens.
Mouthfeel
Silky and polished with bright acidity, supple tannins, and a beautifully lifted mid-palate. Finishes long, red-fruited, and gracefully persistent.

Roast duck, herb-crusted salmon, mushroom risotto, or a simple truffle-salted chicken. Equally charming with soft-ripened cheeses.
