Tasting Notes: Muddled wild strawberries and mulberries are juxtaposed against citronella and garigue.  Anise seed, petrichor and red plum notes fill out this massively complex wine.  The earthy, savory nature of the blend keeps the open generous textures in check as the finish sails on and on in perfect harmony.
