Winemaker Notes
Jessica’s Notes: The 2016 Deux Vert has a heady aroma, bold intensity, depth, and power to it. If it were a painting, it would be a Jackson Pollock- bold and attention grabbing, but you notice the complexity and layers as you spend more time with it. The nose has accents of orange blossom and lemon thyme, with a cranberry chutney, blackberry, and orange peel flavor. It has a restrained and structured texture.
