Whether you lean toward gas grilling or charcoal firing, you have the consummate wine for outdoor cooking in this wine. Steak, pork, or chicken will all complement it beautifully. Marinated kebabs or sausages work remarkably well with it. Don’t be afraid to lather on all sorts of condiments. Let the wine breathe for 30 minutes before serving.

Taste:
Plum, cherry and black tea combine with boysenberry jam, bacon, black pepper, smoke and graphite. Elements of cassis and spiced plum linger.
Region:
Grapes were sourced from vineyards across Sonoma County, including the Russian River Valley, one of California’s prime growing areas.
Winemaking:
Merlot lends structure, suppleness and personality - think West Coast St Emilion. Syrah adds color and vif. It also tempers the herbaceousness of Bordeaux varietals, Cabernet and Merlot. Cabernet Sauvignon brings traditional cassis flavors and provides heft, an almost truffle quality and a dust component. Petite Sirah, known for spiced plum qualities, also tempers the herbaceousness while adding some guts, spice, earthy agricultural elements and “age” to the final blend.
Varietal:
70% Merlot, 20% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petite Sirah
Bold flavor. Can’t wait to try it with something on the grill.
I am a red wine lover… This wine is very flavor-full. I was pleasantly surprised that it was so light. So many reds are so “heavy”. This was (is) so good. The heavier wines make you feel weighed-down. This did not. Happy to have it as a go-to wine…
Great red, had great flavors!
This is my favorite wine of the night. I ordered three bottles but I have a feeling I’ll be ordering more very soon
Love this wine!
It was a sample at my home wine tasting adventure. I only ordered one bottle…. I am placing an order for more! It is so smooth and flavorful.
By far my favorite shown at the event. Great flavor! Impressed with this blend!
cant wait for a bbq this summer to try this then!
I’m not usually a fan of red wines, but I really did enjoy this one!
OUTSTANDING!!!! WARMED MY SOUL!!!!!!!!
This wine is super smooooooooth….. a well-balanced wine that I love with dark chocolate!
I usually don’t care for a red wine, but this was phenomenal! I ordered 2 bottles and next week when I go to another tasting I’ll be ordering a few more!!
I don’t usually like reds but I loved this one. The pepper paired with asiago aged cheese was delicious.
Although I usually shy away from full-bodied red wines, I did enjoy the taste of this wine. Delicious!
We loved this wine. Great flavor and the blend is just perfect!
