Ruby color with bright cherry, tobacco, vanilla and spice aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, and fresh with surprisingly supple texture, and a lingering finish. Delicious 10% Ciliegiolo aged for 10 months in French barriques. 13.5% alcohol. Great value at $8. Will buy more!

Spiced cherry, somewhat like chai and Christmas in a bottle.

This is our favorite everyday red. Robust but not too heavy...complex but ends with a clean, dry finish.

Surging cherry fruit with hints of vanilla and spice. A solid medium bodied table wine. Slightly toasty finish.
