2021 Sine Fine
The great poet from Tang Dynasty Po Chü-i writes:
On high, we’d be two love birds flying wing to wing,
On earth, two trees with branches twined from spring to spring.
Inseparable birds are a classic symbol of love and intimacy in Chinese culture. With one set of wings, the blue bird and the red bird are bound together forever, and will never separate. Like the birds, the intense passion and love of Benoit Touquette has been beautifully translated into this wine.
2021 Fairest Creature Sine Fine Cabernet Sauvignon by Benoit Touquette
A Latin word meaning “endless,” the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Sine Fine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that’s produced by Benoit Touquette. It’s similar in style to the Perihelios with its vibrant blue and black fruits, which carry to a darker core of roasted herbs, dark chocolate, graphite, and tobacco. Deep, rich, and full-bodied, it has a great mid-palate, a seamless, layered wine, and a thrilling finish. The purity and elegance, paired with richness and depth, are absolutely flawless.
