MJA Vineyards Affection 2018

$68.00 Reg: $80.00 / 750 ml
This garnet Cabernet holds a lot of love that, with a sip, gingerly hugs your taste buds. It wafts a soft nose of roasted and sweet red bell pepper that warm and comfort your senses. On the lips, it opens its arms with big, juicy red fruits of cherry, pomegranate, and young plum, with a light finish of sweet tobacco dipped in maple syrup.
