Winemaker's Notes:
The inaugural vintage of Cuvee Constantine shows captivating aromas of
lavender, violet, allspice, kirsch, along with herbs de provence, white pepper,
and licorice. The flavors build in the mouth developing into fresh
black/blueberries, with notes of bittersweet chocolate, complex dried
fruits, and leather. Earthy and intense in the mouth, the wine finishes with
fine dusty tannins. Drink now or hold for up to a decade.
