The wine region of Connecticut
New England wine state, glacial soils (schist, gneiss, loam). Coast tempered by Long Island Sound, favouring Bordeaux varieties. Signature Cabernet Franc: elegant and peppery with signature notes of raspberry, red cherry, red pepper, violet, fresh herbs and a spicy touch, fine tannins and fresh palate — friendly cool-climate style. Round Merlot (plum, cherry).
The word of the wine: Tertiary aromas
Aromas resulting from the aging of the wine in the bottle. The aromas evolve with time, from fresh fruitiness to notes of stewed, candied or dried fruit, to aromas of venison or undergrowth.
