Tasting Notes: Intriguing aromas of tart cherry, nuanced dark fruit, minerality, and oak introduce this distinctive hillside blend. The elegant mouthfeel and smooth texture contribute to the wine’s sophistication. Mocha, vanilla, and an earthy mineral essence wrap around the restrained dark cherry, dusty plum, and mixed berry flavors that appear mid-palate and linger. A subtle juiciness in the finish adds interest and finesse to this innovative blend from our Acorn Hill.

Pair with a cheese selection of a aged gouda, your favorite chèvre, and a local dry jack. Or, try with beef, game, or vegetarian lasagna made with fresh tomatoes and a light cream sauce.
