Fogbreak 2017 Barbera Merlot Cabernet Franc Grenache Lodi, California

Description

Spicy, fruity, bold, and smooth. It’s the textured, earthy cherry wood notes make this Fogbreak blend a delightful companion for drizzly, cool evenings with meat-heavy meals. California’s Central Valley lends itself to a diversity of weather, landscapes, and grapes, giving our winemakers the opportunity to experiment with grape blends, and with this one, they found a winning combination. 2017 was a particularly good vintage for Lodi with perfect weather conditions that resulted in well-balanced, expressive grapes. This fresh and fruity red is perfect for pairing with red meat dishes like roasted lamb, oxtail stew, or bison burgers. Judges from the 2020 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition awarded this wine a Double Gold medal and it was awarded a Bronze medal at the 2019 Harvest Challenge!
