    A commanding rich wine, full of crushed dark berry flavours with a long smooth and creamy finish.

    Delicate raspberry with subtle glints of dark cranberry. Clear and transparent with a bright aromatic bouquet of red forest fruit, soft spice and slightly earthy undertones. It's a balanced and well integrated showing an array of dark fruit preserves on the palate with subtle herb and cassis notes all conforming together to create a bright, medium body with great acidity and a lush mouthfeel. Think white meat dishes, pasta or warm consume soups on a chilly fall day.

    Light ruby red color, like a jewel in it's clarity. First thing I think of on the nose is fresh raspberries from my grandpa's garden, fresh and soft, with notes of oak, leather, clove all subtle and well integrated. The palate continues this trend with a fresh acidty and soft mouthfeel. The raspberries are back but this time they come with light touches of blueberry and dusty oak. Tannins are soft and well integrated. As far as a drinking wine this is a nice treat that is soft enough to pair well with a good pasta dish or lighter meats.
