2020 Avennia Sestina Red, Columbia Valley, USA (750ml) Gluten-Free star anise and a dollopWINEMAKER'S NOTES: The nose on this wine is classic Sestina, with black currant cordial, Damson plum, dark chocolate torte, licorice pastille, bay leaf, and hints of wet river stones. Deep and impactful on the palate, where the dark blue and black fruits are carried by notes of sweet herbs, dark chocolate, bee pollen, and graphite notes. While this is showing great now, Sestina is designed to age very well. Blend: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot,
