Alexander Valley Vineyards Homestead Red Blend 2018 |
Garnet color. Aromas of roasted walnut and raspberry confection with a satiny, crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a smooth, stimulating, medium-length blackberry pie, red licorice, black tea, and molten chocolate cake finish.
A widely-appealing, juicy red; a great stand-alone sipper or perfect pairing for summer barbecue.
This wine always impresses red wine lovers, and we refer to it as a Merlot for Cabernet lovers. There are spicy aromas of dark fruits, cassis, cherry, plum, vanilla, oak and slight chocolate in the glass. This wine has broad mouth-feel with flavors of cherry, blackberry, cassis, plum and chocolate. This is a big, nicely balanced wine with chewy tannins on the long finish.
