Ruby color. Aromas and flavors of cola, butterscotch, and black currant jam with a soft, dry medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish displaying accents of vanilla. A bold, caramelized vanilla-centric blend from Michigan to pair with grilled meats.

International Red Blend

International blend wines is a category that includes wines made from juice from different countries. Examples include a few wines from Canada that contain Chilean wine, while there are also examples of American wines that contain Zinfandel from California with Amarone, a robust red from Italy's Veneto region- along with, believe it or not, blackberry juice. These wines are often novelties and are not too expensive, although there are exceptions.
