Nose
The wine is balanced by a floral and delicate nose.
Palate
Bright flavors of red strawberry and bing cherry are alive on the palate with notes of red raspberry and light vanilla rounding the wine. Incredible finesse on the palate. it finishes beautifully with tannins and acid that literally sings.
