Ménage à Trois. It
is so named because it blends three varietals: Zinfandel from Amador, and
Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from Napa. The Zin (69%) provides a
backbone of peppery flavors and dense textures, while the Cabernet Sauvignon
(26%) smoothes out the wine, making it a joy to drink. A touch of Cab Franc
(5%) adds an enticing fruitiness that complements the other varietals and
adds a third dimension to the wine. It is a deep and juicy wine that starts
out with scents of blackberry and plum. Once in the mouth, the fuller
flavors explode with berry, cherry and lush raspberry, and end on a creamy
vanilla note. |
