PRE-ORDER Winemaker Notes The 2019 Canon La Gaffeliere is described as a medium to full-bodied wine with notes of red and black currants, tobacco, exotic flowers, cedarwood, and loamy earth. The palate features a medium to full-bodied richness, with beautifully polished, integrated tannins and a long finish. It also exhibits aromas of black raspberries, Morello cherries, jasmine, and Sichuan pepper, along with notes of ripe black plums, wild blueberries, and dark chocolate.
