Saturated inky colors from rim to center. Delicate aromas of black cherry, cocoa, meat, lavender and cassis float from the glass. The wine opens to reveal hints of compost and cardamom. Deep fruit flavors and a lush palate give way to soft tannins on the finish. Our first red release, 2nd leaf! While youthful, delicate and nuanced, the balance and integrity of this wine complement any meat or stronger vegetarian fare.
