2021 Theo-patra’s Cuvée Cerise by Theopolis Vineyards

$36.00

This complex cuvée is delightful from first encounter to last sip. On the nose, notes of blackberry are complemented by a potpourri of dried violets, leather, and spice. The palate is bright and juicy. Rich notes of muddled blueberries and soft peppery spice transcend to a long, lively finish.
