TASTE WITH THE WINEMAKER
“Inviting aromas of vanilla and warm baking spices lead into rich notes of blackberry and black cherry, with a hint of cassis. Subtle notes of toasty oak add depth and nuance, leading into a concentrated, beautifully structured palate. Plush and full-bodied, the 2023 vintage
reveals finely textured tannins and a seamless balance, culminating in a long, graceful finish with round, supple tannins and lingering dark fruit character.”
- Stephanie Pope
