Tasting Notes

The picture of consistency once again. Classic ruby in the glass, the vibrancy of the color speaks directly to the brightness found on the palate. The juicy palate focuses primarily on cranberries, fresh strawberry, and herbal tea. A subtle but beguiling nose follows along with the palate, where the stem influence can be felt in the form of black peppercorn and herbs.
