Tasting notes on the wine:  

“His Detour Rouge is a wonderfully light and fruity red, with lots of candied cherry and strawberry on the nose, but digs deeper and chewier on the palate, and finishes with great length. Ever had lemon pepper mushrooms off the grill? This is like that in a bottle. Incredibly drinkable.” — Emmeline Zhao

About the winemaker: 

“Philippe Chevarin is a musician turned audio engineer turned winemaker. His life history and trajectory certainly makes me feel like we’re kindred spirits, and his direct approach to winemaking even more...Philippe’s no frills and no distractions style of winemaking shows through in his wines — they don’t beat around the bush, do the job, and take” — Emmeline Zhao
