SETTLERS’ SPICED WINE Jamestown Cellars NV
September 29, 2008
Cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices were added to this Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Designed as a mulled wine, it is meant to be served warm during winter by the fireplace, or after a cold day outdoors.
When served chilled in the summer months, it makes an agreeable substitute for Sangria.
The art of adding spices, or “mulling” wine is a centuries-old tradition. In the cold winters of northern Europe, wine would often be served warm during the holiday season. The English brought this custom to Virginia in the 16th century.

This in a Virginia wine. I think it was horrible. I could stand the taste. Taste just like mintsmeat pie. I dumped it out right after opening it.

Do you Know where I can Buy this Jamestown Cellars Settlers’ Spiced Wine and have it shipped to Ohio? Please write me at tboughey@msn.com.
I am not a big fan of spiced wine, and do not care for warm wine, but this is delicious! great body, flavor, and aroma with almost zero tannic bite. I admit we prefer it cold, but warmed some through the holidays and it was very good.
