Product Notes

Cruse Wine Co. Monkey Jacket wine is an exquisite blend of red fruits with interesting floral undertones. This American natural wine carries hues of dark purple and possesses an appealing aroma of violets and black cherries. It is a harmonious symphony of dark berry flavours, balanced with notes of toasty spices and a hint of chocolate. Beautifully textured, this wine displays a medium body that pairs splendidly with various dishes. Its supple tannins offer a lingering, smooth finish, while its exuberant freshness makes it an excellent choice to impress any discerning palate.

Tasting Notes

The wine has a bright ruby rim, with rich burgundy hues and a youthful, serious nose of crushed strawberries and bramble with bass notes of olive and leather. The palate is late summer in California, sunny and dry, with concentrated dried fruit. The finish is clean and ends with raspberry and rhubarb.
