Top Notes For
Nicole Ruiz Hudson

Aromas of black cherry, red plum, thyme, and dried rose petals greeted me on the nose. The fruit notes which had been rich on the nose became more tart on the palate and were joined by milk chocolate and a hint of white pepper. Silky mouthfeel with smooth, fine tannins, and lots of acidity to balance the richness and add freshness—even better with food.

Paired with stuffed onion
