2022 Hot Blooded
100% Counoise
$65
per bottle
It's not often you see Counoise as the star of the show, and we believe it deserves center stage. Opens with bright aromatics of chocolate covered orange slices, goji berry, and caramel layered with undertones of exotic spice and graphite. On the palate, ripe fruit character takes the spotlight: Bing cherry, persimmon and raspberry with delicious notes reminiscent of powdered sugar and fortune cookie; a beautiful finish of freshly steeped Earl Grey tea and violets. This is the red wine you'll want to drink when it's 103 degrees out... check it and see. Drink now or over the next 2-4 years. Hot Blooded best pairs with a date night at your favorite Indian restaurant, enjoying a chicken tikka masala dinner for two!
