Tasting Notes: "The 2019 Native is a flirty, mouthwatering expression of El Dorado. Fresh raspberry and orange peel dominate the aromatics, along with playful notes of sassafras. Crunchy and vivacious across the palate with crushed cranberry, sweet plum, and a whisper of passion fruit. Fun, flirty and mouthwatering, the Native can be your food’s best friend, or simply a way to jazz up a Wednesday evening."
