Chillable Red Wine
38% Grenache, 35% Pinot Noir, 20% Syrah, 7% Blaufränkisch
This wine was made with the intention of being served chilled on a hot day. The Pinot Noir was fermented partially as whole cluster to bring in a bright, poppy fruit character. The Grenache, Syrah, and Blaufränkisch spent minimal time on the skins before being pressed whole cluster to ensure maximum drinkability.
Pause and enjoy this nostalgic bouquet of strawberry limeade, powdered sugar, RC Cherry, and lively lemon thyme. On the palate, refreshing notes of fresh bramble berry and guava juice mingle with earthy lemon pepper and chamomile.
