This Bordeaux-style blend is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It is smooth, round and soft, with notes characterized by toasted oak, currant and black cherry. The finish delivers a flourish of mocha and coffee.

The wine’s seductive harmony makes it the ideal accompaniment for beef, duck, pheasant and other game birds that can stand up to the boldness of its character. These dishes work best with the wine when prepared with sweet sauces that incorporate dense, sweet flavors, such as raisin, as well as those with rich, earthy aromas like mushroom.

In addition to being a favorite cocktail and celebratory drink, our New World sparkling wine pairs very well with Asian-inspired food (the fresh sweetness of the fruit balances with the spiciness of the meal). It is also excellent with chocolate and sweets

Made in the Condrieu style, this wine is 100% Viognier and was aged for 8 months in 100% French oak barrels of varying ages. The result is a beautiful sphere of complex aromas and flavors: floral and mature exotic fruits on the nose and palate; a balance of ripe and dried apricots, notes of guava, lychee, and spicy flower perfumes blend with light smokiness, vanilla, and fresh tobacco from the French oak.

Albemarle Viognier pairs well with chèvre and other fresh cheeses, pasta dressed with oil or vegetable sauces, grilled vegetables, light salads, and even cold cuts. The wine shines equally well with delicate fish (such as sole, flounder and snapper) and shellfish - especially lobster, scallops, clams and oysters.
