ike the Caliban in Shakespeare’s drama, The Tempest, this monster of a wine has a gentle soul. The first whiff reveals notes of cherry, blackberry and even a hint of strawberry. These wonderful forest fruit flavors are intermingled with notes of smoke, espresso roast and grilled meat. This blend of 53 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 47 percent Merlot is a perfect complement to any hearty meal. We at Prospero hope the joy you experience while drinking this superb wine equals the joy we had in making it.
