TASTING NOTES

Cherry Reserve is a delicious port-style dessert wine made from 100% Northern Michigan cherries. This rich and robust port-style wine reveals fragrant cherry aromas and wonderful complexity. Made from pure Northern Michigan cherries and aged for a minimum of 48 months in small oak barrels, this wine is then fortified with cherry brandy to add sweetness and complexity. The resulting wine offers big cherry pie character with a deliciously sweet, mouth-filling finish. Enjoy after dinner with dark chocolate, aged cheeses, or your favorite dessert. Serve at room temperature.
