winemaker's notes:

"Pale ruby hue... Enticing scents of wild cherry, brown sugar and allspice. Juicy flavors of plum and black cherry. Silky tannins and lingering raspberry, vanilla and allspice notes in the elegant close."
-Wine News Supple in texture, with rose petal and red fruit aromas, this lively, medium bodied wine is aged in predominantly French oak, which adds a subtle, toasty vanilla character. Ideal for current enjoyment, this Pinot Noir will hold nicely over the next two to three years.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
