Winemaker Notes

The latest 1896 Red Blend opens with notes of savory herbs, mixed berry tart and fresh-baked pumpkin pie. The initial impression is followed by an unmistakable burst of fruit salad – raspberry, blackberry, strawberry and honeydew melon. The palate continues with baking spice, rose petals and buttered toast with jam. The lingering finish offers pleasant notes of cranberry sauce and holiday spices.

Great on its own and with summer grilling. It also pairs very well with a variety of foods including short ribs, camembert, dark chocolate, and grilled figs with balsamic reduction.
