There are many intriguing stories of a mystical island called Avalon. Many stories of King Arthur visiting the island and forging his sword Excalibur there. And tales about the abundant lush gardens, beautiful people, and dreams of paradise were all part of the legendary Isle of Avalon. It was said that the Isle of Avalon was a place of wonder, healing, peace, and the renewing of ones spirit. How could anyone resist a magical place like this?

In the glass, ruby red in color with a tinge of purple on the rim. Playful aroma’s of ripe raspberry, warm blueberry pie, mocha, black licorice, and baking spices fill the senses. Full bodied across the palate, silky mouth-feel, with a medium tannin structure. Juicy flavors of ripe dark plums, dried red currant, black cherry, and teasing spices. An obvious legend in the making! On the second sip, seductive red fruit flavors were pronounced with hints of blackberry leads to a long, eloquent vanilla oak finish. Bravo! A wonderful mosaic of flavors intermingled in harmony to please your palate, heart, and soul.

It is hard to find a wine with such quality and character at a price that anyone can afford. This “Wine for the Soul” is rich, luscious, and has an impressive 13.8% alcohol level hidden inside!
