Dark plum, floral violet, blueberry. You can smell the whole cluster approach. Light in the palette with an Asian spice finish. Leans into elegance

Subtle spice, soft cherry and strawberry, med acidity and a hint of underbrush. Nice wine.

Light and upbeat! Sweet flowers on nose along with usual bright cherry and candied orange peel.
