Top Notes For
Mark Flesher

Paired perfectly with thin-sliced parmesan pork chop. Tx reds can be tricky, and there are only a few who really know what they're doing to get the fruit but also just a bit of the terroir. The nose of this wine is a little bit of funk, a little bit of tart, healthy amount of black cherry, and a whole buncha perfumed flowers. The front is youthful, punchy and absolutely gorgeous brambleberry fruit with a hint of plum and cinnamon baking spice to the middle. Finishes with a hint of cola and a lot of black cherry. Nice wine, and will definitely appreciate for the next 2-3 years, and last another 5-6.
