In honor of Fr. Paul Mark Schwan, Abbot of New Clairvaux, this wine was made from Vina Petite Sirah and Napa Zinfandel. The color is medium ruby moving towards a garnet red. The aromas have ripe cherry and toasted oak, and the flavors are of red fruits and vanilla. The finish is smooth and rich with a lingering fruit-forward finish.
