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.

2019. This is the long élevage that spent 18 months in neutral French oak. Tart berry/cherry, savory herbs, earthy tannins, and bright acidity. If blind tasted, I’d swear it was French. It was a perfect accompaniment to grilled flank steak and Lebanese zucchini with homemade chimichurri.
