Vibrant aromas of ripe stone fruit
and a long finish
An aromatic but almost dry Gewurztraminer that is beautifully constructed and in no way cloying
radiant purple hue and honey like texture
The palate bursts with excellent concentrated plum and silky blackberry

Lifted and aromatic, featuring blackberries, violets, and white pepper. It also has savory undertones of olive tapenade, crushed autumn leaves, and subtle hints of clove or bouillon. It offers a mix of dark fruit, wild raspberries, and satsuma plums. The texture is svelte and silky, with a "crunchy" acidity and fine, velvety tannins.
