Rosenthal the Malibu Estate
2005 Surfrider Red Dessert Wine

Rosenthal's Malibu, California vineyards are set in the AVA Malibu Newton Canyon four miles from the Pacific Ocean coast, above the coastal fog. A 1,630-foot ridge sits west of the vineyards, producing a unique microclimate for the winery's vines. Full-bodied and sweet, this California dessert wine shows a character of sugarplums, raspberry, chocolate and spices. Pair with dishes that feature roasted nuts, dark chocolate and Cheddar or Roquefort cheese.
