Dominant notes of ripe black currant and succulent figs gracefully intertwine with delicate hints of crushed white pepper, imparting a savory depth to the bouquet. The palate mirrors this complexity, offering a harmonious balance of richness and refinement. A velvety mouthfeel delivers a symphony of flavors, with sage and plum emerging as the focal point, creating a seamless blend of fruit-forward elegance and savory umami. This Rhône-style blend unfolds with remarkable depth, its intricate layers unfolding beautifully. A lingering finish of subtle peppercorn spice adds an exquisite nuance, elevating the overall experience to a sublime crescendo

On the nose this takes on layers of dark currants and scorched earth with fresh sage and Mandarin orange zest. The palate walks a tightrope between smoked meats and charcuterie alongside bright citrus zest, wild strawberry, and cran-pomegranate flavors.
