Clear medium violet color. Aromas and flavors of black cherry, blueberry, vanilla, suede, and black kalamata olive with a round, bright, dry medium-to-full body and a smooth, interesting, long finish with accents of black plum, earl gray tea, roasted tomatillos, black peppercorn, basil, and eucalyptus with fine, soft, well-integrated tannins and light oak flavor. A vibrant red blend; rich and satisfying on its own or over a long meal.

'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.
