About the wine
Light, easy-drinking red blend from a veteran of 50+ harvests
- This red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot is packed with ripe, dark fruit flavors from black cherry to plum, all rounded off by a touch of light spice.
- Your funding helped D.H. source this trio of classic French varieties and blend them together with his one-of-a-kind California flair.
- D.H. is a master of hunting down what he considers to be the most delectable wines of each vintage, polishing them with his expert touch in the winery, then bringing them to you for an incredible deal, like this easy-sipping red for only $8.99!
Best before
It does not require aging, but it will evolve and acquire more complex flavors over the next few years.
Serving advice
Serve at 60-65ºF. Often that requires 10-15 minutes in the fridge prior to opening.
Food match
I like to pair this kind of wine with a marbled steak. The tannin and the fattiness play off each other, cleansing the palate between bites and accentuating the fruit in the wine.
