This wine is an unfined and unfiltered reserve of the best lots of our 5 Bordeaux varietals, aged in French oak barrels for 2 years.

Demonstrating astonishing complexity, EVOE! will pair flawlessly with tenderloin, pork roast and game. Exceptional now, this wine will peak within two years and will age gracefully for up to 5 years. EVOE! catches your attention with an inky garnet color with the offer of purple notes along its fine edges. On the nose, aromas of red currant, walnut and jam advance assertively along with notes of toast, hazelnut and butter. On the palate, the wine expresses flavors of black currant, red berry and cedar with hints of raspberry and lees. Round, full tannins await on the finish with suggestions of
dried fig, raisin, cocoa and almond.
