About

Product Description:

"Bright ruby. Lively aromas of red berries, cherry, cracked pepper and dried herbs. Spicy and precise on the palate, offering tangy red fruit flavors, picking up a bitter licorice quality and leaving red fruit notes behind. The Arneis is a barely noticeable, but important, tang to the wine keeping it lively and nervy." Winemaker Tasting Notes

"Cabernet and Shiraz have been blended together for generations in Australia. Arneis dropped in? Not so much, but why not? Cabernet Sauvignon brings structure and tannin, ripe Shiraz highlights texture and fruit and the Arneis brightens aromatics and adds acidity. Côte Rotie has traditionally used Viognier to stabilize color and add floral notes, Arneis here is just a little riff on that...sort of."
