Bright ruby-red. Fresh, spice-accented red berries, cherry and a floral nuance on the nose. Silky and open-knit, offering lively raspberry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors that turn sweeter through the midpalate. Lingers with very good tenacity on the subtly tannic finish, which echoes the red fruit and floral notes. This is quite a graceful wine for the vintage.

Bright and floral cherry and apple flavors bring in sassy notes of sassafras, cinnamon and spice. Drink now through 2027. 16,750 cases made.

Production has climbed substantially on this cuvée. It's a tightly wound mix of sharp red berry and peppery herb. The leaf and stem flavors wrap into a lightly earthy finish. The wine was aged in mostly neutral and 15% new French oak.
