Wine description | Startlingly fresh and poignant aromas of blueberry and Morello cherry, with cocoa, cedar and menthol mixed with warm saddle leather. Accompanied by secondary scents of crème de cassis, dried herbs and spice, with hints of toffee and espresso. Robust, full bodied and vibrant on the palate, with luxuriant and abundant fruit flavors of black currant, plum, loganberry, red delicious apple and Bing cherry. Velvety but firm tannins provide ample structure to support the solid core of dark fruits. Layered and balanced, this wine exhibits extraordinary depth and complexity with force and finesse. Elegance is exemplified by the full circle experience of the wine’s character on the finish; going from bold fruit to spice, then earthy notes, and returning back through toasty oak, aromatic herbs, and finally pure fruit essences of hedonistic pleasure. |
A Californian Red Blend can surprise you every time. And that's because California is a haven for grape growers, where microclimates are plentiful, and sunshine is guaranteed. This leads to cultivation of many different varietals, each of which may add their own secret sauce to the blend.
Imagine you're a winemaker and you have an idea of a wine you're reaching for...It should have bursts of rip...
