The Color: Medium-density red with a touch of transparency—inviting, expressive, and full of character.
The Nose: A walk through an early fall forest in a glass. Freshly cracked pepper leads the way, followed by red and black fruits, crunchy fall leaves, tomato leaf, and a hint of tree bark. It’s earthy, savory, and wonderfully aromatic.
The Palate: Ripe berries take center stage, layered with fresh-ground white pepper, a touch of brine, and earthy minerality. The balance is spot-on, with mouthwatering acidity that keeps everything lifted and lively. A subtle tart green note from 25% whole-cluster fermentation adds a final snap on the finish. Each sip begs for another—and this wine would feel right at home next to anything coming off the smoker.
