Ruby color. Aromas and flavors of wood spices, plum, cotton candy, and patchouli with a supple, petillant, off-dry light-to-medium body and a medium finish manifesting notes of clove and star anise, cherry, and forest floor. A pleasing summer sipper with crisp flavors of orchard and stone fruits that will match well with hors d’ouevres.

Red Sangria

Red Sangria is a beverage made with red wine and fruit juice. Most commonly associated with Spain, red Sangria is the most typical style of Sangria; there is also a white version.

As Sangria is associated with Spain, many recipes call for a young red Rioja as the wine of choice. However, any light to medium-bodied red with forward fruit and light tannins (such as a Gamay or inexpensive Pinot Noir or blended red) can be used. The wine is mixed with orange and red grape juice as well as small bits of fresh lemons, oranges and apples. It is usually served in a pitcher and serves as a great thirst quencher on a hot summer's day.
