Nose
Herbaceous spice and dark fruits enthrall the nose of the 2020 vintage of Hoc. Floral notes of violets and rose mix with earthier nuances descending into cassis, blueberry and brambleberry shrub.
Palate
This scarlet blend boasts alpine strawberry and tart, sour cherry with a hint of yuzu before middle notes of dry green herbs and acai take hold. The mouthwatering finish of currants and strawberry chutney lingers for some time and calls for another sip.
