| Winemaker’s Notes: |
Our 2006 Ranch Red is redolent of fresh ripe Bing cherries with complimentary sweet herb, brown sprice and cream vanilla oak tones adding complexity. In the mouth, the wine's spicy red and black cherry flavors are juicy and tangy with a pleasing tannic bite that make this vibrant red an excellent choice for pizza, grilled red meats and hearty, red-sauced pastas.
