Candied fruit and spice evolve on the nose into tea, and amber notes. The palate is filled with notes of red flowers, the aromas return on the palate transported by confident but not overbearing alcohol. The tannins and fresh acidity work in counterpoint to create a balanced, soft wine.

COLOUR: Soft pink-rosé. NOSE: Essence of geranium and rose combined with strawberry and cherry. Sweet and nuanced on the nose, with noteworthy tenacity. PALATE: The wine’s impressive alcohol is balanced by its delicate flavours and light, bright freshness, elegance, and persistence.

Wild cherry, lavender, cedar, new leather and spice build effortlessly in the glass as the 2020 works its way through the mid-palate and into its beautifully reverberating finish. The 2020 is quite simply one of the very...

"Darkly floral, the 2022 Pinot Noir The Beaux Frères Vineyard wafts up with an earthy bouquet as flowery underbrush and crushed ashen stones complicate dried black cherries and a flourish of lavender. This is cool-toned and racy, with a cascade of sweet spice and ripe red and blue fruits that flow across a stream of vibrant acidity. The 2022 finishes...
