Penpal 2016 Red Wine California

Description

We like to think of every wine that comes from Penpal as a love letter. You can taste the heart that goes into the winemaking and presentation of each bottle. The styles are presented in a straightforward manner, and this Cabernet-based blend is no exception. With a base of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in one of our favorite regions, Lodi, the Red Blend starts off with rich red fruits. A dash of the tannic Tannat grape variety gives it a firm structure and a bit of Petit Verdot lends hints of blue fruits and some muscle. This blend comes together and is a great complement to meat dishes. The fruit is especially nice when it plays off of a fruit braise or sauce. It recently came home from the 2019 New York International Wine Competition with 90 points!
