The nose offers concentrated dark berry aromas that make you
want to leap into the glass. A velvety entry quickly exposes juicy Tulare
cherry, black raspberry, boysenberry and just a touch of rhubarb. Traces of
mocha weave through the luscious flavors, as the wine’s structure stays gently
tucked in background, supporting without interfering with the beauty of this
lovely wine.
Savor this wine with a meal of spareribs with Kansas
barbecue sauce served with extra crispy tator tots, or smoked chicken alfredo
over fresh fettuccini.
