Certainly with herbaceous character, this wine also has more depths of flavor than the simple fruity surface. There is a core of green fruit skin tannins giving the wine a fine structure. There are fine kiwi, even lychee spice, flavors and the wine ends fruity, fresh, yet rounded and concentrated.

Ripe, pure fruit flavors follow spice and smoke aromas. This is a finely balanced wine, with excellent acidity as well as some dark, firm tannins. The red fruits are topped with some new wood spice and creaminess.

A smooth and velvet-textured wine, where the wood, while dominant, is also there to give an opulence to the ripe fruits. So pear and peach flavors go with spice and there is a fine, apple streak of acidity. With its final concentration of rich flavors this is developing well, giving a caramel and lime acidity finish.

Soft and rich, this is a fruity and textured wine. It has strong pear and spice flavors that complement the edge of lemon zest. This combination results in a wine that is bright and fruity. Screwcap.
