Country: US / Fifty/Fifty Red Wine
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot California
Winery: Peju / Napa Valley
Made from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in equal parts, this wine aims for the fences and largely succeeds. It’s stupendously delicious and addictively drinkable, bearing blackberry and blueberry jam, mocha, anise and sandalwood flavors. It will probably pick up bottle nuances in a few years, but why wait?
