SAPIT (Carmenere) 2022
SAPIT from the Latin phrase "nemo mortalium omnibus horis SAPIT" which means "of mortal men, none is wise at all times." As a well lived life includes taking risks and adventure, it also involves making mistakes, learning, adapting, and moving forward. Why not enjoy this wine and reflect on some of your most epic failures and what you learned.
Pairs nicely with smoked, grilled, or roasted meats, chicken, pork, and veal. Is a nice compliment to spicier dishes as well as strong and hard cheeses.

Varietal offerings of Carménère are relatively rare in the Columbia Valley, with this producer always offering a compelling example. The aromas bring notes of black pepper, whole green pepper, jalapeño pepper, wet stone, and cherry. Pleasingly pure fruit flavors follow, showing precision and grace. Floral notes provide accents. The finish hangs.
