Clouds drift in the pastel blue sky White strawberries ripen in the sun’s brilliance Chamomile blooms, mint creeps and tarragon grows Sea salt permeates the coastal air Lime & nectarine trees blossom & begin to bear fruit Springtime has finally arrived.

The meadow is surrounded by trees imbued with nectarines, chamomile growing wildly at their roots. Scents of lime zest and himalayan pink salt hang in the still air and all is quiet except for birdsong in the distance. You lounge in the serenity and nibble on honeydew and cheese with quince jam.

As I weaved gracefully through the grand ballroom, I noticed the pleasant aroma of raspberries and blood oranges and in the air. I caught sight of a charming stranger amidst the crowd, his magnetic presence drawing my gaze. I watched as a cigar box was opened for him. His eyes flickered with mischief and he made his selection, skillfully relieving the gentleman of his pocket watch. I smirked, noticing the subtle aromas of cinnamon, spearmint and high mountain oolong tea lingering in the room - a tantalizing backdrop to the daring feat I had just beheld. The pickpocket vanished into the crowd, his identity known only to those who dared to pay attention.

As I traverse the rugged terrain, I stumble upon a rustic treasure waiting to be unearthed. With reverence, I approach this relic of times past, the weight of history in my hands. The scents of well-worn leather, dried violets and thyme whisper stories of the past while the aromas of ripe plum and dark cherry carry promises of the future. I depart, gravel and leaves crunching underfoot. With each step forward, I feel the responsibility of knowing that I am not just a wanderer, but a steward of something greater, entrusted to pass it on to the next generation.

The 2020 Late Harvest of Grenache Blanc is a luscious indulgence. This dessert wine draws you in with cognac-esque aromas of honeysuckle, brown sugar and bartlett pears. On the palate you’ll encounter notes of plumcot and spiced apple cider which transition gracefully into a lush opulent finish that lasts.
