$8.00 per bottle
Description:
A longtime crowd pleaser, our Estate Red features three grapes that have been in our vineyards since the late 1970's. These French-American hybrids blend beautifully together, creating a wine that is the perfect, everyday red table wine. Marechal Foch is a small-cluster grape that produces somewhat soft, yet deeply colored wines described as having a "Burgundian" character. Soft and youthful, Foch gives a fruity edge to this wine. Chelois and Chancellor whose characteristics are best shown in blends, both soften and add complexity to the wine.
