Tasting Notes
This wine is deep and brooding and will require either decanting, cellaring for several years or a rich winter dish to pair with. The nose is a menagerie of black cherry, violets, huckleberry, dried cranberries and rose petals, freshly split cherry wood and a touch of ripe fig. The natural acidity endures making the aromas seesaw from plums back to cinnamon, cedar, leather, then back to strawberry with a hint of hoisin. Very little of this wine was made due to small crop, if possible, grab a few bottles as it will be fun to watch it develop in the cellar for years to come. Pair it with a savory meal, like mushroom risotto, duck, or a charcuterie board with some dried fruits.
