Ruby black color. Aromas and flavors of blackberry fruit leather, black cherry, and sweet peppers with a satiny, bright, dry medium body and an engaging, long finish imparting notes of blackberry fruit leather, cherry, and leather. Interesting lush red and black fruit flavors with a savory earthiness; would like to pair this with a bison burger.

For the wine consumer jaded by the chocolate and vanilla worlds of Cabernet and Chardonnay, a little diversity in the nightly wine selection can offer a welcome respite. Though hardly the "next new thing," a number of regional specialties around the country are waiting to surprise the unsuspecting wine tourist and provide a welcome change of pace.

A number of these wines are made in states such as Wisconsin or Missouri, from grapes such as Marechal Foch, Frontenac and Marquette; they are idiosyncratic with tangy flavors and moderate tannins; they are meant for early consumption.

Our Other Red Hybrid category is specifically for less common red hybrids, or new and innovative red hybrid grape cultivars.
