Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This juicy, rich, and fruit forward clone is known for making a great stand-alone wine. The wine opens with aromas of toasted vanilla bean and baked cherry pie. The palate is lively with ripe cherry, strawberry, and raspberry flavors. The wine is medium in body with rich tannins, and a refreshingly clean acidity that contributes to a lengthy mouth-watering finish.
