Wine maker notes

The balanced sweet and savory nose, full of mixed berries and grilled pear, evokes summer picnics and barbeques. Flavors of raspberries, black currants, and cherries pair with notes of black pepper and smoky nuance from the rich French oak aging. Dark and juicy, with rounded tannins and bright sweetness, this wine has a long and flavorful finish, with just a hint of toasted marshmallow.
