BOREALIS 2003

BOREALIS 2003 Wine Details
Price: $12.99 per bottle

Description: With abundant aromas of sweet cherries and cotton candy, this ice wine transcends the concord grapes from which it was made. Explosively fruity and rich on the palate with bright candy-like finish. An all inclusive dessert in a glass.

Varietal Definition
Concord:
This native American grape varietal (of the genus vitis labrusca) is used in making old- fashioned, "rustic" country-style red wines, often displaying what most people think of as a "grape jelly aroma." In fact, the Concord is widely used in the production of jellies and jams. This East Coast varietal produces wines that have been variously described as foxy, meaning they have a unique aroma/flavor profile variously described as wild and musky. Mogen David is perhaps the quintessential Concord wine.
