Country: US / Red Door
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Hill Family Estate / Napa Valley
This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec offers classic peppercorn and big juicy cassis and blackberry notes. It’s enjoyable now in its vibrant fruit forwardness but also structured enough to let sit 2018–2020. On the finish are touches of bittersweet chocolate and dried herb.
