Croft Distinction

Hot Summer Days call for ice cream! If you’re like me, I always keep a few pints of the classic flavors in the freezer. When friends and family come to visit, I like to scoop out vanilla ice cream, pour some Croft Distinction on top and add a handful of walnuts or pecans. If you really want to get fancy, add some chocolate chips. (I know you have leftovers from that last batch of cookies you made.) It is the perfect way to end a meal on a summer evening. Cheers!

ORIGIN

Tasting Notes

This deep ruby-colored wine offers ripe, jammy aromas of raisins and black plums leading to youthful black fruit flavors on the palate. The wine is sweet and full-bodied with medium tannins. Well structured and balanced, it has excellent length.
