Lush and vibrant, the latest red blend from Checkerboard’s Aurora Vineyard has the vanilla and clove of new oak but these are balanced by ripe, mellow fruit- black cherry, blackberry, cassis, grilled meat, plum and blueberry. Great tension and balance with ripe tannins and excellent acidity. Very fine
