A wonderful combination of cherry and cranberry flavors sprinkled with some mineral like fairy dust. Seamless wine whose finish reminds you that, “There is more here than just a pretty a face”
Amazed how quickly we consumed this given that it was our second wine of the night. A bottle that would get a newbie on the road to geekdom.

Raspberry jam, rocky, cherry, herbs, anise, floral, some spice notes. Palate is juicy with lots of fruit, tart black cherry, high acid, low but nicely integrated tannins. Tasting notes say its like a cru beaujolais, I agree!
