cases, $24. 80% Atticus Vineyard Pommard and 20% Dijon 777. Raised in 20% new French oak barrels for 9

Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. The nose offers reserved aromas of
dark berries including strawberries with a hint of stem. Mid weight oak-kissed black cherry core with a hint of
mushroom and edible flower. Balanced tannins with a gentle creaminess to the mouth feel. An elegant,
feminine offering that has appeal. Good.
