Country: US / Sophia’s Hillside Cuvée
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Lancaster / Alexander Valley
From the producer’s younger hillside blocks, this is comprised of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller percents of Malbec and Merlot. Blackberry and cherry are warmly wrapped in a blanket of chocolate and clove, while easy acidity provides softness and approachability to the texture and body weight, which are voluptuous.
