TASTING NOTES:
Our Une Vallée is a classic Left Bank Bordeaux-style blend that
begins with powerful scents of baking spices and subtle floral notes with a hint of blueberries. It is a full-bodied wine that offers layers of seductive
ripe black cherry and black currant flavors with supple, silky tannins. The finish is smooth and lingering, and very satisfying. To enjoy all this wine has to
offer, please cellar for at least 6-12 months…or 5-7 years if you can wait!
