Notes | |||
"Lush and elegant wine consisting of wonderful high elevation, mountain fruit. Aromas of black raspberries, cocoa and black pepper with notes of blackberries, cassis, nutmeg and vanilla on the palate. Exotic floral element on the finish as well as a rounder mouthfeel." —winemaker Blend: 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec, 20% Syrah, 3% Viognier |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2016 Red Blend has a medium to deep ruby-purple color and aromas of pencil shavings, dried herbs, blackcurrants, charcuterie and tobacco leaf with red fruit touches. The palate is medium to full-bodied, grainy and fresh with well-tempered fruits and a long, nuanced finish. 3,000 cases produced." —Wine Advocate "57% Cabernet Sauvignon; 20% Malbec; 20% Syrah; 3% Viognier. This multi-varietal blend does not pretend to be a classic Cabernet, but that does not stop it from being a decidedly involving wine that is as complex as it is rich, and it exhibits an especially fine winemaking hand with judicious oak, suggestions of toasted herbs and trim bit of a vanillin sweetness extending throughout its very considerable length. It is rich, well-extracted and marvelously long on the palate, and just as we were impressed by Rowen’s previous Red Wine offerings in 2014 and 2015, we are once again. This is a label well worth watching. Good Value." —Connoisseurs' Guide "Juicy in soft layers of cherry, cola and vanilla, this balanced wine is approachable and memorable. It shows a richness of fruit on the midpalate and a lasting hint of toasted oak." —Wine Enthusiast |
