When we tasted this barrel, we knew we had something special going on with this wine.  The special barrel is Barrel 8, a Hungarian Oak barrel which held our Marquette for 24 months.  This wine has a beautiful nose of dark cherry, smoke and mint and when the wine opens, you are further rewarded with cinnamon, vanilla and a hint of black pepper. The tannins are medium and the acidity is a medium plus – this wine will age well, but is very enjoyable now.
