WineDiva's Review

Juicy, elegant, expressive.
Only 63 cases produced, this wine comes from grapes grown on an old apple orchard. It spent 12 months in new large format French oak barrels.
Luring aromas of cherry scented pipe tobacco, star anise, cedar chips and violets, forest floor and leather lead to a sweet, tangy and elegant palate woven with botanical and juicy red fruit. It has a fleshy yet lively palate and long spicy finish.


 
Recommended Pairings
Good First Impressions, Cellar Keepers, Seafood/Fish, White Meat Chicken/Pork, First Date, French Food
