TASTING NOTES
What's in the Glass
Ripe cherry, vanilla, currants and cracked pepper are obvious on the nose with hints of blueberry, and and Spring violets. Two years in new oak has softened the palate and added notes of caramel, and cedar. The 2013 High Ground is ripe robust wine and would pair well with Roast Duck, Octopus, or your favorite savory dish.
