Burnt sienna color. Aromas and flavors of raspberry cream danis, cheese, and plum with a satiny, bright, fruity medium-to-full body and a smooth, charming, long finish conveying shades of black cherry, violet, dried leaves, and parmesan rind with fine, fruit tannins and a suggestion of oak flavor. A delicious, rather Zinfandel-like Marechal Foch that deserves a seat at the dinner table.

About
Marechal Foch
Marechal Foch is a French hybrid grape that is planted in Canada, Wisconsin and New York state, as it has good resistance to the cold. The wines are soft and fruity - sometimes jammy - with flavors of berry fruit, tomato and a hint of bread with tart acidity. They are priced in the $10-$20 range and should be consumed early with root vegetables and lighter game.
