Heading towards the River

I picked up this Hudson-Chatham non vintage Hudson River Valley Red and one sip and sniff I thought it was Christmas Eve. The aroma of clove on the nose was so pronounced it brought me to that moment. 

Actually the entire wine experience of the Hudson River Valley Red made me think of Christmas time,  The wine was smokey with black cherry, dark red fruit and spice.  Everything about the spice talked Christmas. 

The wine is a blend of 80% DeChaunac and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon.  It retails for $12.95.
