  The aroma clearly shows notes of Concord jelly, blue plum, and deep candied cherries. Rose petals, very faint notes of wood and eucalyptus, and soft tones of cinnamon appear with a spin in the glass.
  
  Smooth and soft, this wine is tender and ripe with delicate, dusty tannins. Concord grape and plum jelly create a satiny, fruity core, while hints of cacao powder, orange slices, and rose petals play in the background, giving this wine some very pleasant definition.

  Clear, medium red. Cranberry tartness gives way to a light to medium weight wine with cherry fruit, flowers, and a little smoke and licorice. Excellent poise and length. A nice find from a previously unknown property.
