Six Mile Creek Ithaca Red 750ml

Six Mile Creek Ithaca Red is a signature red wine produced by Six Mile Creek Vineyard, located just outside of Ithaca, New York, in the heart of the Finger Lakes wine region. This wine is a testament to the unique terroir of the area, known for its cool climate and limestone-rich soils, which contribute to the distinctive character of the wines produced there.

The Ithaca Red is a blend, typically composed of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and sometimes other red varietals, crafted to offer a balanced and approachable wine that reflects the region’s potential for producing quality red wines. It exhibits aromas of ripe berries, cherries, and subtle hints of spice, with a medium-bodied palate that features smooth tannins and a lingering finish of dark fruit and a touch of earthiness.

This wine pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and rich pasta dishes. It’s also versatile enough to enjoy on its own as a sipping wine.

While the Ithaca Red has garnered a loyal following among wine enthusiasts, its accolades include medals from regional wine competitions such as the New York Wine & Food Classic. The consistent quality and expression of the Finger Lakes terroir in this wine make it a standout in the region's growing wine scene.
