Terlato 2011 Cardinal’s Peak Red (Napa Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Terlato / Cardinal’s Peak

Cranberry and strawberry rise to the top of this Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend in terms of aroma and flavor, the color and weight of the wine light ruby red. Dry tannin and herb intermingle around a soft texture before becoming puckering on the finish. Small amounts of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc are within the blend.
