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.
