An other perennial fave, this is textbook Fleurie!!

Our Tasting Note: Give this 30 minutes to open up, once you do you get beautifully layered nose of wild cherry, raspberry and wild flowers, with a hint of spice and granite-mineral undercurrent. On the palate it’s elegantly structured—fine tannins and bright acidity frame vivid red fruit and a subtle stony core. Mid-weight, poised and harmonious, it finishes with refreshing clarity and a lingering mineral echo.
