Note di degustazione
The 2021 Red Blend is vividly fruit-focused, with a burst of wild blueberries, cherries, cloves and cedar shavings forming its seductive bouquet. This is juicy in character yet refined in feel. Ripe wild berry fruits find a lovely balance through brisk acidity as sweet tannins form toward the close. It leaves a resonance of dark chocolate and rum raisin to linger while finishing with a pleasantly grippy sensation. The Red Blend is a fun and energetic mix of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot, 12% Syrah, 7% Petite Sirah, 7% Malbec, 2% Grenache and 2% Cabernet Franc that was created by the team at Booker. This wine is a fantastic value.

The 2021 Red Blend is composed of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot, 12% Syrah, 7% Petite Sirah, 7% Malbec, 2% Grenache and 2% Cabernet Franc matured for 18 months in 50% new French oak. It has a nose of red and black currants, tobacco, oolong tea leaves, potpourri and mossy bark. The palate is medium-bodied, chalky and fresh with layered, nuanced flavors and a long, fragrant finish. This offers great quality for its modest price. 85,000 cases were made.
The 2021 Red Blend comes all from purchased fruit (mostly from Paso Robles) and it's a smoking good blend based on Bordeaux varieties that tastes like it costs three times the price. Cassis, graphite, violets, and classy oak define the aromatics, and it's beautifully balanced, medium to full-bodied, has a ripe, layered mouthfeel, and a great finish. Don't miss this crazy value in Bordeaux blends from California!
