This wine is a medium ruby color with an intense fruit aroma.
In addition to cherry, raspberry, plum, and blackberry, there are also notes of vanilla, tobacco, and smoky, toasty oak.
It has an elegant body, balanced by ripe, fine-grained tannins and clean acidity.
The flavor is complex, with red and black fruit notes harmonizing with herbal and earthy aromas.
The oak finish is pleasant and persistent.
Vinca Benedict is named in memory of Pope Benedict XIV, who in 1754 granted the village of Castelrock the right to hold a festival on the Day of the Holy Cross.
