Juicy and fresh, nice with a weeknight dinner. Not nearly so complex as other Texier offerings, but sometimes that's not what you're looking for, ya know?

This is for those who appreciate a more linear body with a slightly bitter finish and lots of interesting aromatics (dried thyme, cranberries and hint of beef jerky notes).
