tag would indicate. Bright aromas of black cherry, plum, cranberry
accented by a bit of earth. The palate is round and layered, with

the nose want again. "WOW!" exclaims Jack, as he lays it back, "Wow,
what a good wine have I. It’s soft as a flower, yet supple with
power, just right for girls and guys." And bad boy Jack is even
sneaking in a little tobacco behind a layer of black current.
Nursery rhymes these days, what a mouthful….pair with dark goose
meat and cranberry sauce." - Chuck Reininger, Winemaker. Reg: $22

of those Tuscan producers, Peter created what Stephen Tanzer called
