Winery Review:
“Lurid pink. Deeply pitched red berry and candied
rose aromas are lifted by a note of white pepper and pick up a hint of
smokiness with air. Fleshy and broad on the palate, showing a
refreshingly bitter edge to its redcurrant and rhubarb flavors. Surprisingly
dry given its weight, finishing with good cut and echoing spiciness.” –Stephen

My Review: Really good! This wine is light, has a hint of strawberry aftertaste, is pink in color, has a floral aroma, and is balanced
in acidity and sweetness. There is a surprising lack of alcohol warmth
considering it’s 13% alcohol content.
We paired this wine with hickory cheddar
cheese, turkey summer sausage, onion and chive cheese, and honey pineapple
mustard. The wine paired well with the onion and chive cheese, honey pineapple
mustard, and summer sausage, however didn't pair well with the smoked cheddar.
