Formerly known as "Wishing Well," Lone Pine is an alternate telling of the Matsunoi kanji and speaks to the pines that dot the countryside in this remote Niigata village.

Familiar, earthy notes of toasted sugar, pine cones, hazelnuts, & crisp spring water. Classic old Niigata: a cleansing, tanrei karakuchi finish paired with a nutty, clean body.

There's not a lot to say about Matsunoi, but only because it brings you to a nostalgic place of peace and silence, pine trees and deep wells of fresh snowmelt.
