The exuberant nose has raspberry aromas with a hint of vanilla, while the lively palate has a soft juicy texture and a well-balanced acidity. Chewy tannins, black cherry, and a hint of toasty French oak round out the vibrant finish.

Long ago, pre-dating the 11th century, the families that became modern day O’Neills and O’Reillys were feuding over the land that became their ancestral home. To settle the disput, a competition was organized, and several rowing teams agreed that the First to touch the land, after rowing across the lake, would become ruler o’ the land. O’Neill’s boat was falling behind so a member of the crew grabbed his own sword, cut o ff his hand, and threw it ashore. Touching the shore first, the O’Neills won the title to rule the land. The island fortress on this land can still be visited on Lough Oughter in County Cavan.
