This Red Blend from California is a captivating and layered wine that beautifully showcases the region's ability to produce balanced and complex blends. It presents a deep garnet color in the glass, signaling the rich experience to follow. On the nose, this Red Blend offers an enticing array of aromas: ripe blackberries and plums are at the forefront, complemented by hints of mocha, cedar, and a touch of spicy clove that adds depth and intrigue. These elements come together to create a welcoming and aromatic profile that invites further exploration. 

The palate is robust and full-bodied, with a velvety texture that envelops the mouth. Flavors of dark cherry and blackcurrant are predominant, supported by nuances of dark chocolate and a subtle smokiness from the oak aging. The tannins are well-structured yet smooth, providing a firm backbone that promises good aging potential while still being approachable in its youth. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering taste of vanilla and a slight peppery spice that complements the rich fruit flavors.
