Notes | |||
"The nose opens on an elegant combination of red and black fruit aromas, followed with airing by elegant spice and roasted coffee-bean notes. The palate has ripe red and black fruit flavors emerge on the attack, followed on the midpalate by powerful black fruit mingled with delicate spice and roasted coffee-bean notes. The fruit flavors found on the attack return, underpinned by beautifully refined tannins which give length and elegance to the finish." —winemaker Blend: 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Carmenere, 11% Syrah, 4% Petite Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"A complex nose of mulberries, plums, dark cherries, dried flowers and spices. It’s full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins and a fleshy texture. Velvety and structured, leading to a flavorful finish with good length. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, syrah, cabernet franc and petit verdot. Drink or hold." —James Suckling "The 2019 Blend Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva is a Central Valley blend of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Carménère, 9% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, one-fourth new. Deep maroon in color, it presents a complex nose of black currant, blackberry and hints of eucalyptus and mint. Concentrated in the mouth; the good body and shapely, tacky tannins make for a lengthy, juicy Bordeaux-style finish." —Vinous |
