Original Red Blend

Tasting Notes

Our original Red Blend exposes the fresh, ripe, jamlike fruit that is the calling card of California wine. Notes of blackberry and raspberry jam are accompanied by a generous mouth feel with rich flavors and firm tannins. Forward, silky and soft, this delicious dalliance shows what emerges when you put three attractive, single, young grapes into one exquisite bottle.

Winemaker Notes

Ménage à Trois Red brings together three varietals: Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. To add complexity and retain character, each variety was fermented separately, then blended prior to bottling. Zinfandel is a saucy tease that brings blackberry and raspberry jam to the mix. Merlot, with its generous mouthfeel and red fruits, fits perfectly in the middle. The rich flavors and firm tannins of Cabernet Sauvignon make it the ideal candidate for the final layer of the trio.
