Bonny Doon Le Cigare Volant

This wine, with its deep violet to reddish hue is the product of co-fermenting Cinsault with Syrah. From this the wine carries a spicy licorice component from the Syrah which provides the perfect foil to the Griotte cherry derived from the Cinsault. Pairs perfectly to Short Ribs.
