Game Bird Red
In Stock
WINE CHARACTERISTICS
The fastest growing red wine in our portfolio, which now comes with a screw cap, is a semi-dry, medium-bodied red with a brilliant ruby color. The Game Bird Red is produced with a blend of Foch, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. This creates a complex and smooth feel, with herbal and black cherry aromas. Rich blackberries open up to reveal a full palate leaving a soft fruit finishing on the tongue, begging for another sip.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Game Bird Red is a perfect pairing for any pasta dish, especially Grandma’s homemade lasagna. Tomato Basil pizzas really bring out the soft berry qualities from the Foch and Cabernet Franc blend. Also delightful for an afternoon BBQ, especially a beer can chicken. Share the Game Bird Series and a Savory Duck Marinade & Serving Sauce recipe by Heron Hill Winery owners, John & Jo Ingle.

Although I live a long way off in Virginia my wife and I have visited the Finger Lakes a number of times and always look forward to visiting Heron Hill. Game Bird Red is one of my all time favorites and the last time we were there I bought a case. It is an excellent wine for the money. We plan to visit this year to celebrate our 54 th wedding anniversary!
