"Ruby red. Intense with sweet notes of ripe red fruit reminiscent of Maraschino cherries under spirits; lightly spiced. Powerful and warm wine that is soft and intense in the mouth with persistent aromas; balanced with developed structure and nuanced layers that can be attributed to its rich terroir. Pairs well with fatty fish such as tuna or swordfish, fish pastas in red sauce, lamb ribs with herbs and grilled pork."

"A great example of traditional Chateauneuf du Pape winemaking. A dense dark ruby color is followed by a sexy nose of raspberries, ground pepper, spice box, damp earth, kirsch and dark currants. Full-bodied, complex, elegant and already irresistible as the tannins have completely melted away, it can be drunk now and over the next 15+ years." Reviewed by Robert Parker.

Forget those bright red maraschino cherries you remember from ice cream sundaes. Once you try Italian liqueur and confectionery producer Luxardo's Marasche cherries, you will never look at cherries the same ever again.
