Wine of the Month

Okay… I could barely take notes, I was enjoying this wine so much! It’s just like its name—Cherry, but is also so much more. A pale ruby color in the glass and a nose of dried cranberries, cinnamon, and of course you guessed it, cherries! This wine is medium-bodied with very little tannins and a lot of layers of flavor. The palate has ripe strawberry and blueberry, but also a hint of fig, baked fruits, and cinnamon. There are also notes of vanilla and cola, which hint at oak aging. When I think of what I can compare this wine to, a few things pop in my head; fall in a glass, caramel apple pops, cherry Lifesaver gummies, and an apple or watermelon Jolly Rancher. Even though those are all sweet treats the wine itself has a nice balanced sweetness and acidity. I enjoyed this wine with quite a variety of cheeses! A light cheese like mozzarella or goat all the way to Manchego, Cotswold, and Cheddar. It also pairs nicely with spicy, salty, sweet, or simply on its own. An overall delight!
