4 | Wine | Other Red Blend, 2011

"This elegant red blend offers inviting aromas of blackberry and toasty oak followed by luxurious notes of lush black cherry and pepper with a long and lingering finish. Enjoy with grilled meats, lamb chops and rich cheeses."

"Distinctive flavors of dark blackberry, ripe plum and dark cherry meld with hints of oak, chocolate and mint."

"Bursting with berry flavor, our Red Blend is all mocha, fresh-picked raspberry and black cherry goodness. Hailing from northeastern Spain's dynamic Catalunya region, our Berry Smooth Red Wine blends Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in a juicy, unoaked compilation that's as enchanting as it is flavorful. A long maceration captures the pinnacle of flavor from the grapes, translating to intense aromas and flavors of freshly picked raspberry and black cherry alongside a hint of forest floor. Mocha-spiked cream and spice on the finish keep this medium-bodied red richly fun. Warm and smooth, it's a delectable blend."

"It has a dense, saturnine bouquet with blackberry and gravel notes. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, supple blackberry and bilberry notes with a rounded, harmonious finish. This is very fine and well-crafted."

"Sophisticated flavors of pomegranate and dark cherry are well-complemented by Zinfandel’s spice notes and red fruit flavors."

"Made in the Santa Barbara countryside, Sexual Chocolate is a true California wine, blending old vine Zinfandel from Napa's Howell Mountain with warm climate Santa Barbra Syrah. The Zinfandel presents a rich, warm feel that could be confused with biting into a chocolate covered cherry, while the Syrah adds a smooth, deep and refined finish. Sexual Chocolate pairs well with late nights, friends, and a second bottle of Sexual Chocolate."

"Each year, Dunham Cellars blends a portion of its wines into this red table wine. Using fruit from all of our estate vineyards and using the same barrels in which our finest Cabernet, Merlots and Syrahs are aged, we are able to maintain the consistent high quality of our top wine, as well as create a great everyday wine that is price-friendly."

"Primary, slightly jammy red fruits on the nose and palate. Fresh and easy-going, with good finishing cling. I'd serve this wine lightly chilled."

"The palate is well balanced with black cherries, peppermint, sage and a touch of mocha towards the finish that is pleasant, but lacks a little persistency."
