Lush flavors of Maine blueberries, cherries, licorice and Kona coffee follow aromas of crushed peppercorn, new mown grass and clove. Savor this wine’s silky mouthfeel and happy ending! Terrific with pepper steak and spicy foods.

Red Car considers the Speakeasy the “coolest” wine so far — in its climate, fruit, and style. It is dominated by cooler climate flavors because over 70% of its grapes hail from true cool climate regions. This evolving style is the result of trying to produce more sophisticated and graceful syrah. The lush tastes of wild Maine blueberries, Ranier cherries, licorice and Kona coffee are balanced and refined. The percentage of new oak has been lowered, too, allowing the mouthfeel to be linear yet silky. Scents of crushed peppercorn, fresh grass, and clove come off the nose with a hint of orange rind.

Enjoy now or hold up to 8 years.  A mere 913 cases were made.
