Winery Review: Red Blend is their winemaker's signature cuvee, an expression of five red varieties capturing the best of each vintage. It has the backbone of Cabernet Sauvignon, the finesse of Merlot, the structure of Petit Verdot, the floral essence of Cabernet Franc and the boldness of Malbec. This full-bodied wine offers flavors of black cherries and plums and ends in a soft, balanced finish.

My Review: A very full, pretty heavy wine with hints of cherry and prunes. I'm still not a big fan of red wines but this one didn't have too strong of an after taste/finish. The blend was also surprisingly floral besides being full-bodied.

With/without food: I tasted this on its own without food.
