Kuleto Estate Napa Valley India Ink Red Blend 2015 750 ML

Depending on where and how grape varieties are grown, they can express themselves in a myriad of ways. When selecting those vineyard blocks or rows or vines that might be appropriate for the Frog Prince blend, Kuleto looks for the more subtle characteristics of the varieties, e.g. fresh fruits versus cooked, red fruits versus blue or black, a bit less alcohol, a bit more acid, and perhaps a bit of dried herbs. In many cases, the different varieties are fermented together to create something wholly unique. The 2015 Frog Prince puts it all together in a classic Old World style wine. Ripe cherry and plum aromas are accented by a hint of baking spices that invites you in. The palate is refined yet dynamic with bright red fruit flavors, a subtle acidity and well-defined tannins that extend through to the finish. Each taste of this wine reveals new flavors and textures as the wine opens up and begins to breathe. This is a classic wine to be enjoyed with great food.
