Heat shows just a touch but very good at a great price. Strawberry and stone fruit.

Limited production.
Only ten cases came to Florida, two cases came to HBS.
Picked and pressed over night, for a cooler fermentation.
Favorite. Bold. Creaminess on the back from resting it on the leaves.

Stone fruit, raspberries and a very subtle hint of Pinot funk. Another tasty selection from Van Duzer winery. Highly recommend.

Strongly tannic at first. As it aired out it opened into full on cherry pie matching the flavour with the colour.

Beautifully varietally correct. Spicy red fruit on the nose, with a nicely weighted mid-palate thanks to lees aging. Pleasant finish begs for another glass
