Notes
-----
The color of this wine is dark beet-red. (Is it the color of
bull's blood? I'm fresh out at the moment.) The nose is
quite subtle, with scents of red fruits. The flavor of the
wine is very fruity, cherry and berry, with no noticeable
tannins and a good level of acidity to liven it up. There's
a bit of cherry Jolly Rancher taste as well. This is a very
easy-drinking wine; it goes down smooth and has lots of good
flavor. It's not as complex as some wines, but it's a great
wine to enjoy with food. I recommend it.

Production Notes
----------------
This label was founded by a Baton Rouge
obstetrician/gynecologist whose father-in-law left Hungary
in 1957. After many years of travel in his wife's ancestral
country, Dr. Schwartzenburg purchased a vineyard in Hungary
and planted it with new vines, which will produce wine in
2008. Not wanting to delay the introduction of Hungarian
wines, he befriended many winemakers and decided to begin
importing from these vineyards under his label, Black Castle
Wines. After searching far and wide throughout all of the
famed wine regions of Hungary, he has selected the best
varieties from the best vineyards.
