made into a light red or rosé style. Like many hybrids,
H

stunning garnet color, medium body, vivid acidity,
and smooth tannins. Look for flavors of cherry,

related to Pinot Noir. It produces a similar style wine
with medium body, red berry flavors, and a peppery
spice. It can also be produced in a rosé style. H

vary from light to intense to sweet when used in

and musk. H
