The Violinist
WHO IS THE VIOLINIST?
The Violinist is Sarah, a lefty who was made to play the violin with her right hand at school so she didn’t poke her neighbour in the eye with her bow.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2024 Violinist opens with a fragrant tropical fruit salad nose, enticing you with aromas of ripe pineapple, juicy lychee, and a hint of citrus. The generous palate follows through with these vibrant tropical fruit flavors, enhanced by subtle notes of vanilla that contribute to an unctuous, creamy mouthfeel. Toasty coconut and delicate hints of honeysuckle emerge, adding depth and complexity. These flavors linger beautifully on the palate, creating a long, seamless, and satisfying finish.
