WILLAMETTE VALLEY, OREGON

A note from the winemaker: Ripe flavors and lovely bright acids. The nose expresses pure red cherry, with hints of cranberry and wet brush. The palate then adds spicy clove and blood orange to the persistent cherry flavors. The finish persists, hitting broad areas of the cheeks and tongue with firm tannins.

Food Pairings: Roasted chicken, or other fowl and grilled or roasts.
