"Each vintage offers us a real tasting treat: Arcana 2020 is no exception!
Domaine Kefraya's Arcana never disappoints: this 2020 vintage is expansive and opulent, once again offering a generous tasting of black fruits and oriental spices. The palate is silky, with fine-grained tannins and pure, persistent freshness. The long, deliciously peppery, vanilla finish will convince you: you just can't get enough of it!
