Palate
This wine has a dark and rich full body with spicy acidity. It has flavors of black cherry, red pepper and dark chocolate and finishes with ripe tannins.
Growing Conditions
Our vineyards are located in the Lake Michigan Shore Viticultural area of southwest Michigan. Like all great wine-growing regions near bodies of water, our vineyards benefit from the westerly breezes that cross the Lake. The tremendous heat-holding capacity of the water ameliorates the weather, which keeps it cooler in the spring and warmer in the fall. This allows us to grow grapes and fruits for our wine in this northerly latitude where they can develop the distinctive balance of sugar, acid, and flavor necessary to make great wine.
