Dusty ruby color. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, cracked black pepper, and leather satchel of cavendish tobacco with a satiny, vibrant, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, interesting, medium-long finish conveying notes of tart black cherry, black plum and pomegranate, leather and pepper, and black tea with coating, chalky, woody, drying, well-integrated tannins and light oak flavor. A beautiful Cabernet blend with strategic use of Merlot for added plum fruit and Syrah for blackberries, structure, and a food friendly sprinkle of pepper.

'Other Red' is a catch-all category for both uncommon grape varietals and uncommon combinations of varietals. There are little pockets of other red varietals grown throughout the US. In California, Italian varietals such as Barbera, Gignolino, Primitivo, and Nebbiolo and esoteric Rhone varietals like Cinsault and Carignano can be found. Tempranillo, best known as the principal red variety of Spain’s Rioja, can also be found in small plantings in the Southwest where hot grown conditions favor the grape. Many producers throughout the US produce blends of Bordeaux with non-Bordeaux varietals such as Zinfandel, Petit Sirah, Syrah and even hybrids like Chambourcin that fall under our Other US Red category.
