Unmatched elegance and style. Fresh picked Rainier cherries, red currants, boysenberries, and crushed red roses are accented by thyme, cherry blossoms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, graphite, and a twist of blood orange peel. On the palate this wine is stylish and velvety, with lively acidity and a squeeze of fine tannin that dances gracefully amid the fruit. The finish lingers and seduces.
