Tasting Notes

Super light on alcohol, but full of flavor, lush and leggy… Redolent of black olive tapenade and crushed autumn leaves. Like that smell when you go walking on those perfect autumn days, when the trees are still full of leaves, but so is the ground, so you kick the leaves, then you throw the leaves up in the air and then you just can’t resist any more, so you start rolling and you keep rolling until you are completely covered in the leaves and the gorgeous smell fills your nostrils when you breathe in deeply and you remember how magical life is…
