Country: US / Sophia’s Hillside Cuvée
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Lancaster / Alexander Valley
Made from a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon, this blend also holds 4% of Malbec and 4% of Merlot, a hearty yet elegant showing of the appellation. Herbal sage and cedar combine with a waft of peppercorn and tobacco leaf to make for an inviting entry, before soft, approachable layers of black fruit enter the scene. The finish all about dark chocolate.
