Wine Profile
Winemaker Notes
This wine reminds me of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge… poised, lean, structured, precise, and elegant. The complex nose has layers of candied cherry, cinnamon, and nori. The palate carries the umami and hints of orange peel. It has a linear mouthfeel with blueberry on the long finish.
