YOUR RESULTS for "Staff Picks: Matt"

This wine demonstrates some interesting secondary character with touches of black plum, but mostly, forest floor, savory morel mushrooms, black olives, worn leather and smoke.

Medium plus in body with noticeably dry tannins and savory Mediterranean richness. Floral tones recall more northerly wines. It’s chewy, vigorous, and refreshing, with notes of black olive, wild herbs, and brambly fruit, supported by earthier forest floor, baking spice and mineral notes.

The aromas make you think of Norway -- clean and fresh with juniper and spruce, hints of citrus. On the palate, it is pure and brings nature to the fore -- herbs, spearmint, pine, cedar and white pepper along with a hint of sweet vanilla make this the perfect gin for a martini. The alcohol is present, but soft, and there is a roundness to the texture. This feels like it comes from somewhere cold, with pure, fresh air and wondrous beauty.
