Received the Gold Medal at the 2010 Florida State Fair International Wine Competition. The greatest concentration of manatees live around Crystal River, Florida, where the owners of Chateau Sinnet maintain a home near the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge. They contribute part of the proceeds from the sale of this wine to organizations dedicated to the manatees' well-being. Neither sweet nor dry, exceptionally smooth and gentle on the palate with a creamy and luciously fruity character. The blend is 95% Merlot with 2.5% Gewurztraminer and 2.5% Riesling. The bouquet is as pleasant to the nose as the taste is to the palate.
