Critic Review
Dense red-purple color. The wine's effusive nose offers enticing aromas of black currant preserves, violet pastille, savory crushed sage, and an oak influenced note of crème brûlée. On the palate the wine is vibrant and dense with extra silky tannins enhanced by the incorporation of Merlot in the blend. The finish is long and juicy.

This wine is named for Craig Hall's mother, Eleanor “Ellie” Hall, who was an artist and a teacher. She inspired Craig’s love of art and it is her artwork that graces this wine’s label. Crafting this blend is an exercise in texture. Vineyard sources are selected for their elegance with tannins that are soft, lush, opulent and feminine in character. The palate is driven by minerality, cassis, and a floral perfume.
