WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES
You will find deep, savory notes of red raspberries, sea salt, pressed cranberries, blackberries and breakfast tea. Waves of continuing aromatics reveal sage, cola, dried rose petals, and blood orange notes as well. Flavors are revealed in similar fashion, with further hits of espresso and cacao. On release, this bottling is vibrant, tethered, brooding red and with air, tranquil and revealing. Only 650 cases were produced.

TASTE WINE
Look, Smell, Taste and Conclude
VISUAL
You can tell the age of the wine by the color in the glass, also if you look at the legs of the wine you can determine quality aspects
SMELL
When you first start smelling wine, think big to small. Are there fruits? Think of broad categories first, i.e. citrus, orchard, or tropical fruits in whites or, when tasting reds, red fruits, blue fruits, or black fruits. Getting too specific or looking for one particular note can lead to frustration
The Grape
The grape variety is very important to understand a wine.
Grape varieties are considered the most important factor in differentiating a wine
IN YOUR TONGUE
You will be able to perceive that the flavor runs throughout the mouth. You will notice how it runs along the sides, which indicates that it is a quality wine due to its structure.
