A bold, Rhône-inspired blend that leans into both power and perfume—layered, savory, and beautifully expressive with a wild, untamed edge.
Taste | Ripe plum and dark cherry open the palate, followed by a wave of warm spices—cumin and cardamom—leading into an aromatic lift of orange blossom, dried lavender, and lilies. Red licorice runs through the core, finishing with a subtle savory note reminiscent of grilled meat. Full-bodied with structure, depth, and a long, lingering finish.

Why We Love It | This is one of those bottles that keeps evolving in the glass. It’s savory, floral, and just a little wild—in the best way. A Rhône-style blend with serious personality, it offers both immediate enjoyment and the structure to age gracefully. It’s a conversation wine, through and through.
