Cabernet Sauvignon
A complex bouquet with prominent notes of rhubarb, blueberries, black currant, fennel seeds, cloves, cocoa, and crushed peppercorns.

Pinot Noir Reserve
This wine showcases an aromatic profile evoking black plum, dried cherry, tobacco, red currants, fresh figs, and espresso. On the palate, it exhibits characters of blackberry, boysenberry, raspberry leather, coffee, mission figs, peppercorn, tobacco leaves, floral, and espresso, creating a harmonious blend of fruity, earthy, and spicy elements.
2023
