From CANTINA DE'RICCI

From CHATEAU LAUBARIT A wine full of dark berries, pure cocoa nibs, plums and baking spices, though no oak is used. Medium density with juicy tannins, this is a great low sulphur, clean Bordeaux made on the vine with limited cellar influence.

From SPOKEN WEST Golden straw in color. Nose full of ripe pear and peach, floral jasmine, and hints of vanilla and toast. Plate is full of pear and minerals. Finishes long with notes of pineapple and citrus peel.

From KIVELSTADT CELLARS Aromas of vermouth, orange blossom, and green tea. On the palate there is a slight bitterness from the skin contact fermentation which is pulled to the finish by the acidity.
