Grapes: Grown by Colorado Vineyard Specialists in Palisade and harvested in mid-September. The grapes were crushed, destemmed, and cold-soaked for 4 days, then fermented for 13 days. They were then pressed and transferred to French oak barrels.

Aging: 30 months in French oak barrels—50% new and 50% neutral.

Tasting Notes: An outstanding red with notes of pomegranate, red currant, and tart cherry, along with floral aromas. This wine works great as a ‘chillable’ red due to its lower tannins.

ABV: 13.9%

Pairs with: Poultry dishes, lighter pasta fare, and vegetables.

Drink: Now through 2028.

Price: $25
