The final blend for the red and white wines varies each year according to the harvest.
NOSE : Without effort, dried blueberry and ripe plum are immediately front and center of an incredibly dynamic yet classic nose. A quick glass swirl reveals fresh lavender and cocoa, followed by Bing cherry and a hint of black pepper.
