Grower   Comments: (by County)	CALVERT: New plantings and seem to be doing ok. medium vigor and good cold hardiness. Vines are a little brittle.
Growing   Recommendations:	Does well on a variety of soils. It buds early and ripens fairly late.
Winery   Considerations:	Merlot-like with mild tannins and having a dark chocolate/raspberry flavor.

Its spicy character can add flavor to other wines. It has aging potential.
