Wine Specials:
Firecracker Merlot 3 pack @ $69
2018 Merlot “Honor Roll”- Admire the deep, dark purple-violet hue in your glass and breathe in wild black cherry aromas. There’s a hint of nuttiness and juniper spice from the French barrels and a long finish to the well-structured wine.
2013 Magna Cum Laude Merlot- A deep rich color with aromas of black cherries and flavors of chocolate. 24 months in 100% new French oak.
2018 Cabernet Franc-Merlot “High School Sweethearts”- The nose is filled with cherries, raspberries, blackberries, dark earth and spice, with hints of smokey oak. Because they were both aged in French oak, those sweet tobacco and anise notes are amplified, making this an intensely fruity, spicy wine, with a good bit of tannin and a very supple acidity.
