Production Details Fermentation incorporated some whole clusters, quantified in the producer's tasting note as 25% stem inclusion. The sheet prints residual sugar as “<0” without a unit; this is retained textually because it does not support a single numeric residual_sugar_gl value.
Tasting Notes Producer: ripe blackberry and strawberry aromas, spice from stem inclusion, with a seamless, rich and mouth-watering character. Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate: liquid licorice, warm blackberry, star anise, exotic spices and rosewater; medium-bodied, chalky, fresh, layered and nuanced.
Food Pairing Salmon or duck
