2022 Proprietary Red Wine

Our all star blend, and one of our favorite wines to produce. This blend flaunts many of the lovely features found in our single varietal wines, such as our Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Syrah wines. However, it's the culmination of these varietals and Stagecoach Petite Verdot that yields such an approachable yet complex wine. Most of this blend is comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon, which is responsible for the dark cherry & plum flavors as well as the rich and concentrated mouthfeel. The Syrah folds in dark fruit, mixed berry & toffee aromatics with a fleshy yummy tannin. The Malbec offers up gobs of blue fruit and violet aromatics with a sweeter plush tannin. The Malbec and Syrah tannin help to round out the Cabernet Sauvignon tannin and make it that much more approachable now. Lastly & often added sparingly because of its intensity, we blend in Petite Verdot to bolster the backbone and introduce a darker, more brooding fruit character. In 2022 we even added a fraction of Merlot to help balance the dark fruit with fresh red fruit. It's thanks to this array of blenders that we're able to achieve a wine so approachable and complex.
