This Bordeaux-style blend shows powerful aromas of blackberry, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, and toasty oak. Broad and muscular tannins on the palate together with notes of espresso and dark chocolate on the finish.

With a wonderful flat bread pizza and salad this beautiful lightly red vino accentuates the fresh earthiness of the NY grapes. The mix provides a light initial wash with a smooth rush of the pura' blend to finish as soft as she started while providing the numerous exciting properties of each grape. Fantastic! Thank you so much.
