In 2015, California, like much of Europe, was able to begin harvesting early; although production was down compared to 2014, it was an excellent year with good weather. The grapes were harvested in some of California's most prestigious vineyards, including Lodi and the Delta Valley of Sacramento. This medium-bodied red wine is full of juice. Aromas of black cherries, herbs, and spice are wrapped around a smooth texture and soft tannins that bring balance to the entire palate.
Matching: Beef, chicken, pork, pizza, tomato sauce.
