Mission Briefing
On point
We love sleuthing out these rare, hidden gem wines. When we find one that we love, we usually buy up as many cases as we can - to make it available to you.
After a little decanting, today’s wine springs to life, delivering a very aromatic, elegant and delicious drinking experience. On the nose, you’ll experience fruit, fruit and more fruit, with blackberry, blueberry, Bing cherry, plum, fig, ripe nectarine, leather, dried fall leaves and spice.
On the palate, the wine is bursting with flavors. Of particular note is the bold black cherry juice out in front. This gorgeous note is followed by blackberry, plum, grilled nectarine, leather, baking spice, dark chocolate, cocoa powder and toasty oak.
This is a very approachable, easy-drinking wine and at today’s price it is a wine to keep on hand. Enjoy with everything from a Tuesday night spaghetti dinner or your favorite backyard burger to a fancy fine dining experience.
Enjoy this ready to drink delight now through 2018. Maybe longer!
