2016 Black Russian Red Reserve
36 Month Barrel Reserve
McGregor Saperavi: America's first success with Saperavi. Saperavi is the primary grape of this wine and it is blended with a touch of the Moldovan grape, Sereksiya Charni. Aromas of black currant, blackberry, sweet oak, spice and smoke follow through beautifully on the palate. There are some nice plum and coconut flavors blended in as well. Silky tannins coat the palate and lead to a very pleasant, long finish. This wine was matured in oak barrels for three full years.
