“Like a soft drizzle after a long dry spell. She is slowly seductive, enticingly meditative. And as if time has no power over her, she tenderly unfolds. Revealing her divine essence of profound grace.”

Aromas of black cherry, strawberry jam, Asian spice, rose, leather, dill, maple, brown sugar, orange rind, cinnamon, vanilla, concord, dirt, doughy…

The palate is medium-lightweight, moderately viscous, balanced acidity, lingering cherry, mulling spice after taste…

Light rose petal rimmed with teaberry in color. The aromas fill the glass with potpourri, ripe cherry, and earth. The palate is breathtaking, offering melted candied apple, salted cherry, earth, sweet tobacco leaf, and warm strawberry spice. Finishes like an orchestra building to the climactic finish, with all flavors coming together in perfect harmony. A wine I believe is in its perfect drinking years and one that will be remembered. This is what represents Umami to me. Drink now through 2023.
