This complex cuvée is delightful from first encounter to last sip. On the nose, notes of blueberry are complemented by a potpourri of wild-flowers, sage, and perfumed spices. The palate is bright and juicy. Rich notes of preserved cherry, subtle earth, and soft peppery spice transcend to a long, lively finish.
