Once Upon a Vine A Charming Pinot NV (750 ml) Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

Once Upon a Vine A Charming Pinot NV (750 ml) Saint-Émilion Grand CruOpening with a jewel like color, our Charming Pinot is as dashing and charismatic as its name. The wine delivers dark cherries and ripe strawberries layered with leather, soy and spice. The body is light and smooth with fine tannins and a sot, elegant finish.

crème caramel and marzipan join the party

nectarine and honeydew are accented with a hint of orange blossom

I compared the (Gramercy Cellars) Cabernet Sauvignon to a top Margaux last year when I tasted it from barrel

Perfect for a wine and cheese party

Adding softness is the hint of a brioche note that will hopefully develop with age

and worthy of all the hype
