plum and hoisin that are trimmed in soft wood nuances

raspberry and floral pastille flavors that turn deeper and spicier as the wine opens up

which is a bit more forward and oxidative than it usually is

delivering fantastic intensity with a racy backbone and gorgeous satiny texture

this is an excellent long-term and delicious Saint-Estèphe

Racines, Sainte Rose Pinot Noir Brut Zero plum and hoisin that areProprietary name. One third whole bunch. This blend follows the US model of barrel selection. So this is from the best barrels or rather the ones that go together best. 3,000 bottles produced. A little more tension than the regular bottling and really very nice. Ripe but not sweet. (JR)
