Here is the description from the label:
“Saudade (So-dah-jay) is a lovely Brazilian word that means a fond and nostalgic longing for people and things that are absent or gone. Saudade is a part of our “50” Series, created in honor and celebration of our 50th vintage. We have created an exquisite and masterful blend of our best varietals – Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot – selected from three of our best local vineyards. We’ve named this exceptional wine, Saudade in honor and fond remembrance of our retired founder, Doug Moorhead, father of the Pennsylvania wine industry, and the heady days 50 years ago when it all began for us.
This old-world Bordeaux style wine is the synthesis of 5 decades of tending vines and making wines in the Lake Erie AVA. It is round and exceptionally well-balanced with firm tannins and a multi-layered flavor profile including notes of blackberry, black currant, anise/fennel, tobacco leaf, olive, and subtle vanilla. Saudade has a lovely deep garnet color with medium-full body and a velvety mouth feel with a luscious oak-fruit balance.
Enjoy with grilled and roasted beef and lamb with garlic and rosemary, veal and venison, steak pies and hearty stews. Also pairs nicely with mushrooms, haricot verts, bacon and eggs, and hard aged cheeses.
