Much like our award winning 2008 vintage the bouquet of this intensely inviting wine is filled with dark ripe black fruits. Gobs of ripe plum, black cherry, blueberry and loganberry pervade the complex nose. Aromas of cigar box spice, vanilla and toasty oak, surround the fruit nicely. The flavors of this rich full-bodied wine explode with robust, ripe black fruit in the mouth and continue within the long finish. Well balanced, with fruit, oak, and firm, but smooth tannins, this wine will pair exceptionally well with prime rib, grilled rib steak, rich risotto, wild boar and other flavorful wild game. ~Should age well for 10 to 12 years.
Ramspur Winery uses a new glass closure called Vino-Seal. This closure, unlike natural cork, alleviates cork taint, and can be reused when storing your unfinished wine. As glass art collectors, we thought the Vino-Seal to be an extension of our fascination with glass art.
