2021 American Fine Wine
Superb blend of 2 Bordeaux varietals – Merlot from dryfarmed Zaynte Vineyards in Santa Cruz Mountains and silky Cabernet Sauvignon from Bates Ranch, showcasing the finest coastal vineyards fruit.
Tasting Notes
Luxurious milky dark chocolate, soy sauce, teriyaki, black cherry, vanilla, black walnut, roasted and fresh hazelnut. The wine is dense, creamy, very extracted and soft with an amazingly long finish. Prevalent tannins from French oak still
firm and complex. This wine benefits from cellaring for over 10 years but worthy to enjoy now.
