The palate is dripping with flavors of dark cherry and ripe blackberry, finishing with notes of cigar spice and baking chocolate. Unlike a passion that may grow cold in the light of dawn, the memory of this wine will linger and inspire many more affairs of the heart. Place your order online for curbside pick-up at VINO.
