blackberries and coffee

mango and guava that render this very seductive

but the subtle coconut-pineapple-vanilla flavor profile-more drying and astringent than rum or vodka-seems ideal for mixing tropical cocktails and is addictive to sip

SAUZET BEUNE PERTUISOTS 2017 skus_30212358 Unlike many larger German wineriesThe 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Les Pertuisots offers up a pretty nose of crisp green orchard fruit, citrus zest, blanched almonds and fresh peach. On the palate, it's medium to full bodied, elegantly textural and incisive, with good depth at the core, racy acids and a delicately chalky finish. This is a classy, beautifully balanced Pertuisots that isn't as rich and sun kissed as some of Sauzet's more dramatic cuves this year.
