New 50% Merlot/50% Cabernet Sauvignon blend!

September 11, 2013

 

Today we released our brand new 50% Merlot/50% Cabernet Sauvignon blend wine just in time for the fall season. Eighty percent of this blend was aged in stainless steel while twenty percent was aged in oak. It is finished with half percent of residual sugar.

When we asked our winemaker what sparked his idea for this new blend, he said that he wanted to create a wine that was a great introductory wine for drinking dry wines. This wine is not as intense as a Merlot or as bold as a Cabernet Franc but allows the non-dry wine drinker to expand his/her palate and perhaps develop an appreciation for dry red wines.
