Appellation
The North Fork of Long Island, New York
Description
Concentrated and well-balanced, Bouquet seduces with every sip. This Vin Doux Naturel is a blend of Syrah (95%) and Pinot Noir (5%). Closure: cork.
Tasting Notes
The color of dark ruby gemstones, Bouquet Red Dessert Wine offers warm aromas of blackberry, black cherry, raspberry, chocolate and pepper. Medium-bodied with a long length of finish.
Winegrowing Notes
Although the 2009 growing season was challenging, especially for red grapes, we found wonderful sources of Syrah and Pinot Noir with aromatic fruit and low tannins from young vineyards that ripened early in the season.
Winemaking Notes
This Vin Doux Naturel is made by adding grape spirit to the must of ripe fermenting grapes, as opposed to late harvest grapes. By arresting fermentation mid-way, part of the grapes’ sugar remains and retains sweetness in the wine. The alcohol in a fortified wine makes its body lighter and more fluid, and in this wine, is very well balanced by its fruit, sugar and acidity.

Serving Suggestions
Serve with dark chocolate or desserts with chocolate sauces, such as Poire Belle Hélène or profiteroles. The strong stimuli of both the chocolate and red dessert wine enhance each other. An exquisite ending to a beautiful evening!
