FUSE is the creation of Ray Signorello Jr. It is a wine that represents his passion for the old world, while embracing a more modern, Napa Valley Cabernet. The wine is sourced from three separate vineyards, one being Signorello Estate and the other two hand picked by Ray himself. The small production of less than 2,000 cases allows Ray to create a truly artisan style wine, hand selected and created to embody the fusion of styles and qualities he envisions. Blend: 86% Caberbet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot.
