The prefecture’s capital, Sendai, includes over one million citizens and is the largest city in north Honshu. The city and a castle were erected by Date Masamune in the region in the 16th century. The prefecture features a beautiful and popular scenic location called Matsushima, which is includes gorgeous islands filled with lush pine trees. This region also boasts of a wealth of fresh seafood and fabulous scenic ports. Miyagi was hit in 2011 by the earthquake and tsunami that devastated the region, but sake breweries have fought to continue to produce wines. The wines from the Miyagi prefecture are dry sakes, which are considered the driest sake types in all Tohoku prefectures. The sakes crafted in this region are crafted from a variety of food rice and is created to marry well with the fresh seafood from the region. Although the region does not produce high numbers of sake wines, the breweries in the Miyagi prefecture craft exquisite and high quality sakes. The rice varieties used in sakes created in this region include Kura no Hana, and Hitombore.

Made with grapes sourced from Rutherford, Calistoga, St. Helena, and the winery's home in Oakville that aged 17 months in French oak, this impeccably balanced and complex red is as elegant as it is emotive. Blackberry and clove-spiced cedar line the mouth, erupting with graphite and espresso. Finely grained tannins adhere to dusty plum and lavender.
