At 17.5% alcohol, with loads of ripe slightly jammy flavors, this Maury VDN is a lot like a cross between a Late Harvest Zinfandel and a ripe Merlot. Ripe cherries dominate the aromatics and flavors. Sweet and textured with good length and lasting fruit, this is a lovely sipping wine or as dessert. La Cherisaie (cherry orchard) is one of the more unusual wines tasted.
