Garnet color. Fruity aromas and flavors of strawberries, hibiscus, pomegranate, and cranberry with a satiny, vibrant, sweet light-to-medium body and an even, medium-length finish. A sweet and juicy Red that will pair nicely with spicy homestyle fare.

Off-Dry Red
Off-dry wines are slightly sweet wines that are great for sipping on their own or throughout a meal. They're different from dessert wines in that they contain considerably less residual sugar and have only a softly perceptible sweetness.
