Featured Tasting Flight
Four red wines | 2 oz pours | $20
• 2023 Estate Marquette – Aromas of pipe tobacco, oak, and bright fruit, followed by red currant, black pepper, and subtle tarragon.
• 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon – Vanilla, bright cherry, and butterscotch with soft, integrated tannins and an approachable body.
• 2022 Cabernet Franc – Smoky bacon and rich blackberry aromas with pepper, clean smoke, and a toasted brown sugar finish.
• 2023 Chambourcin – Dark cherry and plum, aged in bourbon barrels for a bold, cocktail-inspired profile—like an Old Fashioned in a glass.
This is a casual, story-driven tasting, perfect for wine lovers who enjoy learning directly from the winemaker while sipping thoughtfully crafted Michigan wines.
