This is one of those wines from both sides of the road (if you’ve been to Closson Chase you know what I mean) – 14 months in all French oak (10% new). The nose is pretty with violets and orange blossom followed by sour cherry and gentle wood smoke; palate proves to be delicate with sour cranberry, cherry, violets and good acidity for balance.
