2021 Force Majeure Red Mountain Epinette Blend
Tasting Notes
“It is more red cherry and wild blueberry fruited on the nose, moving to shades of crushed rocks, dried red flowers, sweet cinnamon, and mountain sage. Phenomenally balanced, it’s a wine you will come back to time and time again.” 98 Points - Jeremy Young, International Wine Report
