Medium coral orange color. Aromas and flavors of cranberry apple juice, cherry, and mushrooms and nuts with a velvety, tangy, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, compelling, medium-length finish evoking notes of cherry and cranberry craisins in apple juice, herbs and purple flowers, and peking duck plum sauce. A very stylistically interesting sweeter fruit wine that balances the honeyed fruit with earthy floral notes; will work well with more savory meat appetizers, desserts and especially rustic cheeses.
