Mixed Culture fermentation that spent 15 months in an American oak foeder while conditioning on Wilamette Valley grown Pinot Noir grapes. Complex and tart, this wine-hybrid marries both styles with highlights of cherries, tobacco, berry jam, citrus peel, and subtle notes of vanilla from the oak foeder; all balanced with a soft tartness.

16oz can. A few years old it looks like but holds up really well. Dry, bright, mildly sour. Grape flavor is there, color is vibrant berry red, but fully transparent. Grape skin. a little bitter. Good.
