Sheldon 2015 The Red Hat Old Vine Field Blend Red (Napa Valley)

Country: US / The Red Hat Old Vine Field Blend
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Sheldon / Napa Valley

Made in even smaller amounts than the vintage before it, this combines 90% Petite Sirah with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from old head-pruned vines. The winemakers succeeded in coaxing fruity raspberry and blackberry around a fully brazen acidity that explodes on the palate. Softly textured, the wine is incredibly fragrant and inviting in white pepper.
