Country: US / 19 Block Mountain Cuvée
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Hess / Mount Veeder
Made from estate grapes, this combines 54% Malbec with 38% Cabernet Sauvignon and smaller amounts of Syrah and Petit Verdot. Rich as cherry pie, highlights of clove and nutmeg dot the brawny, elongated tannins as the lengthy finish adds a hint of mocha.
