2018 Winemaker's Blend Napa Valley
This year I thought it would be fun to blend a winemakers blend like I haven’t blended before! A true blend of five wonderful varietals- Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot! The secret to the blend is the Petite Sirah! The Petite Sirah lifts the aromatics and adds layers to the structure of the wine. The Merlot brings a plum plush component, the Cabernet Sauvignon adds the dark base of the structure, the Cabernet Franc adds a floral note, and the Petit Verdot adds color, tannin, blue fruit and chocolate components. They weave together to form a beautiful complex Napa Valley wine!
COLOR: Inky Garnet
AROMAS: Blackberry, dark cherries, cinnamon, star anise
FLAVORS: Medium-bodied with wonderful texture and layers of fruit and spice. Concentrated flavors of dark cherry, plums leads to round, smooth, long cocoa finish.
