Bountiful

Bountiful Wine Details
Price: $14.95 per bottle

Description: Lush and juicy dry red wine. Very smooth and approachable, Bountiful lives up to its name. Tart cherry flavors with a clean, soft tannin finish. Wisconsin St. Croix, Frontenac, and Marechal Foch blended with just a touch of Washington Cabernet.

Varietal Definition
St. Croix:
St. Croix is the one red wine variety that Elmer Swenson has released to date. It is similar to his white variety, Kay Gray, in that it is hardy, low acid and disease-resistant.
Frontenac:
Frontenac’s overall viticultural performance and excellent wine quality are directly responsible for its success in Minnesota, where more of its vines are growing than any other variety. This recently released red wine grape from the University of Minnesota is a cross of Landot 4511 and Vitis Riparia. The vine’s chief advantage is its extremely vigorous and productive nature.
Marechal Foch:
A french-american hybrid grape, with french Alsace Gamay origins, noted for producing deeply colored and strongly varietal wines considered by some to have a "Burgundian" character. Also known under the name Foch.
