The River Hames

TASTING NOTES:
“Aromas of blackberries and plums with tarragon herbal notes. Hints of vanilla and sweet spice round out this medium-bodied wine. Soft tannins on the palate lead into a long, balanced fruit finish. Ready to drink now or age in the cellar for the next 4 years.” (AbV 13.5%, pH 3.73, RS 0.63 g/100mL)

BARRELS:
French and American oak.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
The longest river in England, the River Thames begins around Kemble, although some believe the source of the river is in the hamlet Seven Springs instead. About 14 miles further from river’s mouth than the Kemble location, this source is denoted by a stone inscribed with “Hic tuus o Tamesine pater septemgeminus fons.” This is Latin for “Here, O Father Thames, [is] your sevenfold source.” The word “sevenfold” appears to refer to how seven is considered the perfect number in multiple religions.
