This wine is a lovely blend of savory, earth, brush, and bramble with ripe and rich black cherries on both the nose and the palate. Driven by juicy acidity and fine, integrated tannins, the ripe red fruits linger pleasantly on the tongue.

Medium aromatic with notes of red raspberry, black cherry, pepper and tobacco. The palate is medium-weight with red raspberry, tart black currants, rosemary and lightly savory notes. This is very quaffable and not as big as some of its Spanish counterparts; consider giving it a light chill.

Refreshing aromas emerge from this Cabernet Franc Rose: hatch chili, green pepper, cherry skin, and plummy red fruit. The palate is fresh and clean and follows the nose with dark cherry, pomegranate, and savory herbal notes. The finish is soft but with adequate and refreshing acidity.

Savory aromas of bark and toast with black and red cherry, red currant and some wild strawberry. The round mouthfeel boarders on creamy with good intensity and complexity. The flavors echo the nose with additional intense spice, blood orange and a long finish.

A fruity nose of lime and melon with bold hints of fennel, white pepper and allspice. The flavors gravitate to ripe cantaloupe and anise while the minerality from the soft water is evident in the finish. This vibrant showstopper is beautifully soft and feminine, brewed by one of Japan's only female brewery owners and tojis. Brewed in Hiroshima, the birthplace of Ginjo sake, which is known for remarkably soft water that requires expert skill to use in sake production. Once mastered, it enables a highly controlled, precise fermentation, resulting in vibrant fruit aromas. This Junmai Ginjo is bottled immediately without charcoal filtering.

Distilled in Kagoshima, Japan by Hamada Shuzo from 84% imo (sweet potato) and 16% kome koji (rice koji). Daiyame is made from sweet potatoes that have been aged using a unique aging method to fully extract their aroma. It has a sweet aroma reminiscent of fresh lychee and rosewater. Enjoy Daiyame 25 neat, with seltzer on the rocks, or with hot water as an oyuwari.

Notes of clementine, grapefruit, peach and rosewater combine with white flowers on the nose. Despite being a little cloudy (it's unfiltered) the flavors are clean and precise - white tea, tangerine and orange blossom can be found on the palate. Medium body and dry with light tannins.
