I never heard of this wine before. Nose Reminds me of lavender candy, bright cherry, a little tea leaf... Palate the same, a little sharp at first, then wash of acidity, then fine tannins ... Nice 😊

A blend of three vineyards (TBH, Baranoff, MK). Tomato leaf, tart cranberry, lifted kirsch rose petal the whole cluster nose, ripe & crushed strawberry, spicy stems, hints of cola nuts. High acidity, med tannins, med finish on fresh herbs.
