Wine Review: This ruby color wine opens with a vibrant black raspberry, dark cherry and dark chocolate bouquet with hints of clove and nutmeg. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied. The flavor profile features black cherry and red plum with notes of blackberry and black currant. The finish with dry with dusty tannins that linger on an extended finish. We would pair this Red Blend with Bolognese or a hearty beef stew. – Karen & Stuart

Winemaker Notes: The indulgent confluence of Merlot, Malbec, Zinfandel and Petit Verdot results in a velvety blend of ripe plum, coffee, black cherry and chocolate flavors with a smooth, rich finish.
