Tuscarora Red - 2002

Tuscarora, the name given to the hard sandstone forms the prominent ridges of the western Valley of Virginia. This name comes from the hemp-gathering nomadic Iroquois who lived here. We proudly use the name for our blended wines both red and white. They are regionally typical and are blends of both hybrid and vinifera grapes.

Bright and fruity, it complements many grilled foods. Perfect pasta wine. Delicious with foods prepared with tomatoes, garlic, basil and olive oil. The healthy Mediterranean diet is a sure fit with this wine.
