The 2022 Fiction Red Blend pours the color of darkest night. Heady aromas of blueberry pie, luxurious suede couches, ham paninis, unlit menthol cigarettes and roquefort tarts. Firm tannins anchor flavors of grilled meats, cherry cola, sweet carob and black licorice chews, all cased up together conveniently in a cigar humidifier.

Blend: 32% Zinfandel, 22% Cabernet Franc, 15% Alicante Bouschet, 10% Charbono, 7% Syrah, 6% Lagrein, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Grenache

Critical Acclaim

91pts Wine Enthusiast
Straight-ahead aromas of blackberry, cedar, toast and pepper show on the nose of this kitchen sink blend of nine varieties, led by Zin, Cab Franc and Alicante Bouschet. The blackberry sauce flavors of the palate are elevated by star anise, cigar box and tobacco leaf elements.
