Herbaceous aromas are balanced against a strong core of black fruit and berries. A touch of anise and roasted espresso beans add intrigue to the bouquet, while accents of licorice sticks, clove and whole black peppercorns carry the finish. A very well balanced wine with solid weight and appropriate medium grain tannins.

An elegant nose of strawberry, raspberry and lemon is the start of this poised rosé. Unfolding fruit and citrus flavors keep the wine balanced and clean, but the overall character is feminine and soft. A very pretty wine with a classic touch.
