Winemaker’s Insight: The winemaker notes a delicate garnet hue that transitions into a bright ruby, inviting you into its aromatic embrace. The nose is a symphony of dried leaves, forest floor, and dark fruits like plum, currant, and blackberries. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with powdery tannins and layers of intertwining flavors—blueberries, fresh strawberries, and a hint of caramel dance alongside dark chocolate and cocoa powder. A touch of toasted coconut adds complexity, while the finish is long and balanced with a hint of bitter herb to complement Quivira’s signature acidity.
