Delicious and rounded bursting with cherries and a long, elegant finish. A velvety texture speaks to the richness of the wine, but it isn't heavy. Ideal drinking right now.

I was very excited to try this and was not let down. The first word that comes to mind is “scrumptious” (which is weird because I never use that word nor do I know anyone who uses that word). Really graceful and beautiful. I would pair this with two tickets to an Arctic Monkeys concert 😉🔜👀
Tasted with Coravin
