Marietta

This wine wallops you with flavor and smoothness while bringing it @ 15.7% octane. Remember if you don't like high alcohol wines do not drink them!

Sweet Cherry cough syrup aromas let you know this wine will cure what ails you. The aromas are vivid and deep, taking you deeper towards rich dark chocolate flavors swirled with fresh luscious blueberry and then the flavors really open up making this one of the longest amusement rides I have ever been on.

The undertones blossom giving up flavors of toast, caramel and mint with long chewy tannins that give this wine a wonderfully huge mouth feel and lingering finish.

The culinary capabilities for this wine are broad, burgers to beef tenderloin, let your budget be your guide. I was fortunate to find this wine recently in a local, well-stocked boutique wine shop in Forest Grove, Oregon. They do a great job at The Wine Behren, great Scott what a find! ~Marc Hinton
