WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
A wine that can stand on its own and also complement any meal. Aromas of dark red fruit, chocolate and brambleberries are followed by flavors of blackberries, mocha and dark chocolate.
Blend: 40%Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Grenache
TASTING NOTES:
Paso Robles speaks the language of the bold when it comes to red wines, and this Merlot–Cabernet Sauvignon–Syrah blend (with some Cab Franc and Grenache) has the syntax in place for ripeness and structured tannins. Overdelivering in taste and value, it bears a colorful label that depicts the nature of its crushed blue and red fruit, starting with bold aromas of baker’s chocolate, espresso, and black bean. Dried herbs season the ripe fruit, and the chocolate feels dusty on the palate.
