Ehret 2008 Bella’s Blend Red (Knights Valley)

Country: US / Bella’s Blend
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Ehret / Knights Valley

Made mainly from Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a big, massively structured wine. It offers an explosion of blackberries, cassis, dark chocolate and sweet, caramelized oak. It’s really too immature to enjoy now, but has the inherent balance to ride out the next 10 years until it throws sediment and mellows.
