"Light and tangy, with a tart edge to the dark berry and floral flavors, finishing with persistence and finesse against fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2017. 739 cases made." –HS
Product Description:
WINE:
"Deep red. Cherry and dark berry aromas are complemented by notes of licorice and woodsmoke. Fleshy and broad on entry, then firmer in the middle, offering chewy black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a touch of peppery herbs. Finishes on a dusty, gently tannic note, with good grip and focus." -Winery
WINERY:
"Named one of Wine & Spirits magazine's top 100 wineries of 2009, Andrew Rich Wines has been crafting distinctive wines in Oregon's Willamette Valley since 1995. Along with Pinot Noir, Rhone Valley varietals from the Columbia Valley - including Syrah, Roussanne, Grenache, and Mourvedre - take pride of place, though the winery is equally well known for its seductive Gewürztraminer dessert wine. Production averages 5,000 cases per year." -Winery
