But, what does it taste like?

Pretty, floral, red cherry and strawberry aromatics with the raspberry, spice and spine of cool climate Shiraz adding punch and structure to the palate. These challenging times call for a Modern Red with old fashioned values. The seductive Pinot Noir sharing bottle space with the hot headed Shiraz; making wine great again.

 

"Everything old is new again."
