Exceedingly lavish, this wine exudes intense wildflowers, dark red fruit, cherry cobbler, raspberry, and strawberries, accented by nuances of Asian spice, leather, and minerals. The whole berry fermentation carried out in the finest French oak barrels and some small open-top fermenters, imparts a distinctive character. Medium-bodied and graced with elegant, subtle notes, this wine is an ideal companion for summer and early fall, or any meal where a dance of subtlety and complexity on the palate is desired. I am enamored by its allure.
