  I bought this wine because it is made from a lesser known grape varietal among so many other famous grapes, and I wanted to have some variety for my small wine collection. The outstanding characteristic of this wine for me is the nose - it is wildly floral and herbaceous. It has fast forming, long legs and a light brick color in the glass. The wine has mild, smooth tannins that are drying but not astringent, and a smooth finish that keeps you reaching for your glass.

  light magenta-brick in color with a full body. A ceamy floral nose with hints of rose and violet, very nice. Bright red fruit on the front of the palate and hints of the same floral notes on the middle palate with a well balanced and very light tanic finish.
