Mockingbird Red 2014

The 2014 Mockingbird Red is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance made up of Merlot and a small amount of Cabernet Franc. It’s a rich and vibrant wine with a powerful yet elegant finish. The wine is made from nearly equal parts of three well-known and highly regarded vineyards in St Helena, Calistoga and Oakville.

The 2014 Proprietary Red Mockingbird Red comes from three vineyards, including Dancing Hares, and exhibits loads of fruit, maybe not the depth of the Mockingbird Blue, but blue and black fruits, an opaque, dark-ruby color, notes of spice box, fruitcake, cedar wood and tobacco leaf, as well as red and blackcurrants. It is a more elegant and cooler-climate style of wine.
