Floral overtones with gentle garrigue notes

Residual hints of the malolactic fermentation

Otherwise there is excellent richness to the cool mineral-tinged and seductively textured middle weight flavors that possess a really lovely sense of underlying tension on the clean and pure finish that delivers strikingly good length

Charbonniere, Chateauneuf Du Pape other_regions_australia Floral overtones with gentle garrigueBright red. High pitched aromas of red berries, cinnamon and mace, enhanced by a suave floral quality and a hint of orange zest. Distinctly energetic and pure, accented by lively red fruit flavors and strong mineral spine. Refreshingly brisk on the finish, which features tangy red berry and spice notes. This wine shows the best aspects of the vintage. Josh Raynolds
