"Dark red fruit, flowers, mint, licorice and sweet spices meld together in the glass as the 2009 Red Wine shows off its personality. This is one of the more overt reds in the Matthiasson range, but next to the overwhelming majority of Napa Valley reds, the 2009 is still quite restrained and understated. The Red Wine is mostly Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with dollops of Petit Verdot and Malbec. "

Product Description:

"The 2009 Red Wine is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet franc, Malbec, and Petit verdot. This is a riper vintage, reflecting the warm growing conditions and tiny crop that Mother Nature provided. There is plenty of freshness, but the ripe bing cherry and rich chocolaty tannins really characterize this vintage. The aroma includes red and black cherries, dark chocolate, ripe blackberries, and notes of black tea and bay leaf. The flavor on the palate reminds us of chocolate covered cherries, very juicy, and the finish continues with chocolate, dark fruit, and black tea. There is a fair amount of tannic grip, with a high volume of fine-grained tannins. 259 Cases produced." -Winery
