In 1997, Hunt Cellars began producing their first releases of memorable wines. Experience has taught the Hunts that in order to make great wines, you must simply have the best fruit. At Hunt Cellars, they believe passion, hard work, and never giving up until all the components and structure are present to give their wine the varietal character, flavor, and velvet finish that has become their trademark.

Fans of this varietal may want to stock-up on this one. A lovely nose offers layered aromas of blueberry, plum, clove, bacon, and spices. Despite its chewy nature, the palate is quite smooth, with flavors of cherry, blueberry, plum, bacon fat, and coffee that unfold with each sip. Pair this with a hearty roast beef and enjoy.
