Ruby black color. Aromas and flavors of cocoa, black pepper dusted cherries, and leather with a round, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, appealing, medium-length finish evoking notes of cocoa dusted black cherry, nutmeg and black pepper, cherry tobacco, and bbq beef. Earthy, spicy, and fruity flavors with good structure; a nice change of pace steak pairing.

Other Red Hybrid

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.
