It was introduced about 1857 by F. F. Merceron, Catawissa, Pennsylvania. Vine vigorous, not liardy. often unproductive. Canes long, numerous, thick, reddish-brown; nodes enlarged, flattened; internodes long; shoots glabrous; tendrils continuous, long, trifid or bifid. Leaves large, thick; lobes 3, or obscurely 5, terminal one acute; petiolar sinus shallow, narrow ; teeth shallow. Flowers on plan of 6, self-sterile, open in midseason; stamens reflexed. Fruit early, does not keep well. Clusters long, broad, irregularly tapering, single-shouldered, the shoulder often connected to the cluster by a long stem, loose; brush thick, dark wine-color.
