BUY THE WINE

Ella Lister: Shy at first, the nose then lets you in, with its almost Burgundian, flattering, sweet red fruit. This theme continues on the palate, where the gorgeous, bouncy red fruit is somewhat pinoté (thanks to the 15% of Cabernet Franc). There is lots of life still in this bottle.
