An absolutely wonderful wine, intense without being overbearing, elegant yet with incredible structure. Plush and perfumed without being blowsy. This wine walks the line with such assured balance with its herbal, earthy, yet ripe blue fruit dominated character. A natural beauty that isn’t flashy but could easily command any room with its assured delicacy. Pure to the Nth degree. I love it.

Negrette, cab franc, misc blend. Long carbonic maceration. Good grip and tension, with appealing reductive notes. Drinks like Hervé Souhat Syrah/gamay.
Fifi’s imports.

Medium garnet, bell pepper nose, slightly musky. A sip and it's bright red fruit, star anise, fuzzy tannins, light cassis-berry acidity. Tastes purple.
