Tasting Note

There’s a demure finesse to this wine – revealing its charms in subtle ways, a slip of succulent red fruit, a hint of lacy herb, the subtle sparkle of mineral. The overall effect is of quiet luxury, high quality, craftsmanship that doesn’t need a fancy label to say “I’ve arrived.” Rather, the wine unfolds with confidence over time, meant to seduce over the course of a long evening.
