Counoise 2018
The second release of our Counoise is a delightful wine, light-bodied with lively acidity juxtaposed against soft tannins, just perfect for food pairings. Extended aging in neutral American oak barrels provides the background for the fruit to shine with subtle structure, allowing an easy drinking wine. Bruised red rose petals greet you on the nose, with bright red fruits and dried herbs. The palate opens with cranberry, dried herbs with lingering sappy cherries, finishing with soft red fruits.
Aromatics: Red florals, dried herbs and bright red fruit
On the Palate: Cranberries, cherries, dill, bright acidity and soft tannins

My wife and I love this wine! We visited Becker specifically to pick two bottles up on our first day on our most recent trip back to Fredericksburg but we drank it all at our AirBnB and had to stop back to pick up some more before we left town. It paired extremely well with the charcuterie board we created.
