This vintage was remarkable in Lake Erie North Shore. After a cold early May the entire growing season was hot and dry, extending into September and October. The dryness allowed for an even maturation and an early harvest, giving lower yields and good fruit concentration.
This nose of this wine is earthy, with hints of dark fruit, cherry nibs, and raspberry.
The palate is silky with notes of wild sour cherries and cocoa.
Pair this wine with anything mushroom, turkey burgers, or truffle fries.
