2021 Force Majeure Red Mountain Parvata Blend
Tasting Notes
“Presenting a stunning deep neon ruby-blue core and a neon purple rim, it screams sense of place on the nose - think notes of crushed blackberries, dried mountain sage, pink peppercorns, wet earth, and lovely dried flower notes. It carries a bold, full-bodied mouthfeel and finishes rich with a lovely saline and olive tone that sits on the back palate.” Jeremy Young, International Wine Review
