TASTING NOTES
With deep black-purple hues and bright red fruit aromas, the 2018 Counterpart opens with a rich, luscious bouquet. Wildflowers and red currant balance beautifully proportioned cinnamon-spiced oak. Warm layers of Merlot fruit give this hedonistic wine a round palate and lasting finish.
