MOUNTAIN RED

MOUNTAIN RED Wine Details
Price: $14.00 per bottle

Description: Made from 100% Frontenac grapes that were aged in new Minnesota Oak barrels for 1 year. This dry robust red lives up to the fine reputation that we have achieved over the years. It is layered with red and black cherry flavors that linger on the palate. It goes very well with lamb, steaks, game, and hearty meals. Drinkable now, but will age well over the years. (100% Frontenac)

Varietal Definition
Frontenac:
Frontenac’s overall viticultural performance and excellent wine quality are directly responsible for its success in Minnesota, where more of its vines are growing than any other variety. This recently released red wine grape from the University of Minnesota is a cross of Landot 4511 and Vitis Riparia. The vine’s chief advantage is its extremely vigorous and productive nature.
