Tasting Notes
Beautiful garnet color, jewel-like in its luster. Aromas of bright red cherry and dry leaves greet you, leading into white pepper and clove. In the mouth, there is a clear beginning, middle, and end of bright red fruit, underbrush, and baking spice. The lingering finish of clove and cinnamon have you begging for another sip of this easy-drinking wine.

Fermentation took approximately 12-16 days in an open top 5 ton fermentation tank and the wine was then racked to barrels.
