Winemaker Note
An inviting bouquet of warm spices and sweet oak is complemented by hints of mint and sage that add complexity and depth. Layers of red berries—raspberry, red currant, and blackberry—interweave with notes of vanilla, clove, and a cinnamon-spiced woodsy perfume. Floral undertones of red rose, violet, and potpourri add a delicate, aromatic lift. On the palate, sweet red berry fruits take the lead, followed by plush black cherry and blackberry flavors. The body is on the lighter side, showing the character of this vintage and allowing nuanced layers to shine through. Delicate hints of tea leaf and potpourri emerge mid-palate, leading to a silky finish accented by allspice and lasting floral and oak-driven notes. This is the perfect wine for a variety of dishes and social occasions.
