I don’t think I have ever described a wine as a nectarine bomb, but there is a first time for everything. This is all fresh nectarine on the nose, and it translates to the palate along with white pepper, bay leaf, and tart dry strawberry notes. It is a different take, but it’s one that’s worth a try. Contains 60% Syrah, 20% Carignane, 12% Vermentino and 8% Grenache.
