A rich, explosive nose of ripe red fruit, Asian spice, mocha tones and summer berry compote. Soft, silky and mouth filling. This is a straight up crowd pleaser if ever I tasted one. Great all around party wine, drinks perfectly on its own or with food. Low tannin, rich fruit, beautifully polished and complete. I was excited to sell this wine just on the strength of how good it tastes...then Decanter dropped a 96 point score so we doubled down! How often do you get 96 points of deliciousness for under $20?

Notes

Winery Notes: "Angels & Cowboys Prorietary Red Blend is produced with fruit from Sonoma, Russian River, Dry Creek and Alexander valleys. The 2016 is saturated garnet in color with a nose of bramble berries and briar fruit scented with star anise and vanilla. Luscious and generous on the palate with opulent red and black fruit ranging from red currant to boysenberry accented by creamy vanilla and exotic spice. Full-bodied and smooth on the palate with pleasing tannins and a finish that is harmonious yet firm. 61% Zinfandel, 14% Petite Sirah, 10% Malbec."
