Winemaker Notes
Bright red crimson hues. Intense lifted vanilla aromatics balancedwith red currants and mulberry fruits. Firm and full on the palate with a subtle sweetness giving a rich mouth feel. The vanilla aromatics carry through on the palate and compliment subtle flavors of red currants and chocolate. The palate is filled with redberry fruit and the soft tannins provide a lingering finish.
 
Story behind the label: A British conscript turned infamous convict, Michael Harrington is perhaps best known for orchestrating one of the most daring escapes from Australia. In 1876, Harrington, along with six others, braved a massive typhoon in nothing more than a tiny rowboat to board an American whaling ship in what is now remembered as The Catalpa Escape.
