Notes from the Winemaker:
Exuding dark cherry, cranberry and ripe raspberry, this wine offers a palate that is supple and weighty with toffee, vanilla and hints of sweet cigar spice adding complexity to the voluptuous fruit. Silky tannins and a streak of bright acidity add to a long, full finish. Pairs with squab in lingonberry sauce or scallion-and-brie stuffed hamburgers.
