This finely balanced wine is food-friendly and versatile.

Slow ripening at moderate temperatures gave us fruit of excellent quality, intense color, well-balanced with good acidity and lower alcohol. \u00a0AROMA: Black currant, vanilla and dried Herbs de Provence.\u00a0 Flavor:\u00a0 Luscious flavors of currant, blackberry, French vanilla, cocoa powder. This wine has firm tannins and a smooth, lingering finish. BLEND: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 4% Zinfandel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Like us on Facebook!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We will be tasting a white, rose and red today!\u00a0 Three great wines to start of your weekend.\u00a0 See you tonight!
