"The little death" is what they call it. It describes a moment familiar to us all…hopefully. This wine starts off slowly with subtle nuances of blueberry and anise that quickly builds to a crescendo of dark luscious fruit, spice, and earthiness. Next to sneezing, and well, you know… this is easily the second best way to end an evening.
