TASTING NOTES: “The nose is floral with notes of white peach, nutmeg, sage and vanilla. On the palate, the peach and vanilla flavors continue along with citrus, brioche, apple and sweet oak. The wine is rich and round up front, with good integration of oak tannin and acidity leading to a lingering finish.” (AbV 13.5%)

BARRELS: 5 months in 50% stainless steel, 50% French and American oak.

PAIRS WITH: N/A

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
In both tabletop roleplaying games and roleplaying video games, there are a few things that seem universal. One of these things is the existence of a character class or profession system. When you hear profession, you probably think of a typical job, like an accountant or doctor. Although, in the context of usually fantasy roleplaying games, it might be more like a blacksmith or apothecary. That is still kind of the case here, but it may be more aptly described as an archetype your character can fall into related to their skills and abilities. For instance, those considered warriors are associated with raw strength and head-on close combat. Meanwhile a rogue is associated with being dexterous and more cunning or stealthy in their fighting style. A character class helps you focus the character’s development, informs how they play, and generally establish a background or skillset to work from as you progress through the game. Typically when you create a character to play with other people, you want to have a well-balanced “party.” Having someone of each class type ensures that you cover all the angles and aren’t particularly vulnerable to any specific situations.
