Tasting Notes:
On the nose, Pym Rae 2019 reveals intense aromas of blackcurrant and plums, intertwining with floral notes and hints of tobacco.
On the palate, it presents as a full-bodied wine, where fine tannins provide elegance and structure. The complexity of fruity flavors harmonizes with a subtle touch of spices.

About Winery
Pym-Rae
Napa Valley, USA
In January 2016, the Tesseron family, originally from France, acquired the property of actor Robin Williams, formerly known as Villa Sorriso.
Tesseron Estate is strategically located on Mount Veeder in the Napa Valley region of California. With approximately 7 hectares of vineyards, it primarily cultivates Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot.
The history of Tesseron Estate is built on respect for its previous heritage. The decision to retain the names "PYM" and "RAE" for the property's wines is a testament to the Tesseron family's commitment to preserving the unique history of the vineyard from the old Villa Sorriso as a tribute to the actor.
With French roots, the Tesseron family brings a global winemaking heritage that extends from France to the hills of Mount Veeder in California, etching its name in the history of Californian wine.
