Product Notes

Bonny Doon Le Cigare Volant embodies Californian winemaking with an endearing nod to French Rhône blends. A sophisticated tipple with complex layers, it reveals rich nuances of dark berry fruits, undertones of earthy spice, and whispers of smoky leather. The poised tannins lend substantial structure to the wine, whilst a vibrant acidity breathes life into its lavish character. Impeccably balanced, this is a graceful example of New World wines harnessing the Old World's elegance. For discerning wine enthusiasts, Le Cigare Volant offers a delightful foray into the reserved intensity befitting of Bonny Doon's philosophy. Subjects you to a transcendent wine experience indeed.

Tasting Notes

Amazing aromas of fresh ripe red plum, some strawberry, with delicious, savoury flavours, spice and licorice. Utterly fresh and moreish on the palate.
