NORTH STONINGTON, CONNECTICUT

Great intensity, it is inky dark with robust tannins. This highly age-able wine is a truly rustic expression of Calistoga vineyards. The grapes are from Napa’s Calistoga but the wine is made locally in Connecticut. Dark chocolate, raspberry and spicy nuances predominate on the nose and palate. A full earthy finish complemented by oak nuances, this Petite is for the serious red wine lover.

Food Pairings: Pepper-encrusted NY strip steak, pulled pork, filet mignon topped with blue cheese butter.
