The 2008 Hossfeld Coliseum (a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon) reveals a deep ruby/purple color along with dense black currant fruit intermixed with well-integrated sweet oak, licorice and spring flower notes. This complete, full-bodied, impressively endowed 2008 can be enjoyed over the next 10+ years. These are impressive efforts from proprietor Mark Carter. Tel. and Fax: (707) 445-0311
