The 2009 Aldin Red comes forward as a fun, rich, and bright red wine blend. This vintage contains a fair amount of Cab Franc, providing red cherry and red raspberry flavors, mingled with sweet hints of oatmeal cookie and spice. A slight minerality pulls in a nice complexity to this wine. The aromas transition to a complex, rich, savory flavor, making this vintage a fun and approachable wine. You may enjoy it now and it will improve with additional bottle aging.
Blend percentages:
45% Cabernet Franc - Beckstoffer To Kalon & Savier
37% Cabernet Sauvignon - Gary Morisoli, Herb Lamb, Beckstoffer To Kalon, Beckstoffer Dr. Crane, & Healy
18% Merlot - Materra & Cunat
