This wine is all that makes your season festive and bright! Close your eyes, and you’re sipping wine the essence of dark cherry cocoa under tall decorated pines. Bright, fruit-driven acid. Raspberries, dark chocolate-covered montmortancy cherries, cacao powder, pine. Grenache brings vibrancy and Malbec delivers full body. A marriage made in merriment.

Not a great option from Sextant. Heavy minerality, smells like a swimming pool, tastes like it smells.

Think Grenache and malbec had a baby and that baby was beautiful. Lots of fruit but with a sense of place. Recommended
