This wine label is artwork by Pamela McGeary showing the McGeary family dog, a Catahoula Leopard Dog named "Dolbie."
The wine is a gorgeous-tasting wine of dark chocolate aromas and cranberry flavors, and as it has aged it has developed smoke and bacon notes. This wine was seasoned with Appalachian oak prior to bottling. It has a long finish and is very balanced, yet structured wiht solid tannins and great Syrah earthiness. Absolutely a customer favotite! It is aging wonderfully in the bottle and has many years of great drinking ahead.
