Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay Family S Reserve Carneros (14% Abv) 2015 750 ml

Blended red wines made from unspecified grape varieties are a hot trend in the California wine market; many of those wines are sweet wines that seem targeted to fairly novice drinkers.? This blended red is dryer, and it hits a level of quality that fairly serious wine drinkers can admire for a casual red.? The wine is medium-bodied, juicy and flavorful, with soft texture despite some ripe tannins. Aromas and flavors suggest ripe, dark berries and plum, as well as some juicy red fruit.? Oregon?s Sokol Blosser Winery has made a delicious blended white called Evolution White for many years now, but this is the first red.? A perfect summertime, grilling red for large groups of friends
