Notes:
This excellent wine from a hybrid grape, courtesy of friends Caleb & Jen, presents as a full bodied dry red. The flavor is full and varied, beginning with a dry merlot-like flavor that adds in notes of nutmeg and rum. The finish is smooth and thoughtful and keeps you reaching back for the glass, after an appropriate appreciative pause.
It paired very nicely with an excellent slow marinaded steak grilled under Caleb's careful tutelage.
