Wine Review: This deep ruby color Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend from the Finger Lakes opens with a blackberry, black cherry, tobacco leaf and oak bouquet. On the palate, it is medium bodied, well-balanced and round. The flavor profile is a pleasant blend of red cherry, red currant and cranberry. The finish displays moderate tannins and acidity. This wine is a lighter red to pair with pork roast with a cherry sauce. – Karen & Stuart

Winemaker Notes: A blend of Bordeaux varietals Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot - expressive, terroir driven, and impeccably balanced with dark fruit, savory herbs and minerality.
