Tasting notes
Hecate is often depicted as a triple-bodied or triple-formed deity, symbolizing the Maiden, Mother, and Crone, each of which symbolizes both a separate stage in the female life cycle and a phase of the Moon. Her primary symbols include torches, keys, and dogs, reflecting her roles as a guide through darkness, a controller of boundaries, and a protector against evil. The wine embodies the dark, mysterious attitude of Hecate with black fruit, sweet sage, and an earthy perfume on the nose. On the palate, she shows black cherry with light tannins and a long, lingering finish. Intoxicating!
