Tasting Notes

Bright, sophisticated, easy to get along with, and the center of engaging conversation - Who wouldn’t want to escort this gorgeous, dark, handsome beauty wrapped on their arm to any lively dinner party? Desirous luscious black cherry, almost too ripe cantaloupe, soft round shoulders, hints of pencil shaving spice, with a beautifully round finish. If not for her elegance, the catty amongst us might misconstrue her somewhat acidic forward attitude for a petite, flirtatious tart.
