Willamette Valley

Elegant above all else, this wine is understated and seductive
with a bouquet of bright cherry, perfume and bramble.
The palate is soft, sophisticated and abounding with red and dark berries
that show ripeness with a beautifully balanced acidity.
Dried flowers and plenty of fruit on the long finish.
No one can get enough of this in the bar,
one vintage after the next Isabelle Dutartre delivers a finessed wine
that subtly shows the very best characteristics of terroir in feminine harmony.

Bright ruby-red. Assertive aromas of raspberry, cherry and fresh rose,
with Asian spice and wood smoke accents building with air.
Juicy and precise on the palate, offering gently sweet red fruit flavors and a hint of candied flowers.
Shows impressive energy and clarity on the long finish, which features a zesty blood orange nuance.
