Winemaker Notes:
46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Sangiovese, 11% Petite Sirah, 11% Syrah
Blend 24 finds its inspiration from the classic Chiantis. The blend is as complex as the inspiration behind it. Anytime one uses Petite Sirah in a blend great care needs to be taken.
This powerful varietal has no mercy when used in excess. However, the right amounts can give a masterful sense of structure and added balance as is the case in our Blend 24.
It is offset by the delicate strawberry perfume character of Sangiovese and the Cabernet Sauvignon offers black cherry fleshiness to the mid-palate. There is a great effort taken
to age this wine in the correct ratio of oak as not to impact the Sangiovese’s wonderful bright notes but enough cooperage to meld the firm tannins of the Cabernet Sauvignon
and Petite Sirah. Wines such as these are so enjoyable to drink and just as exciting to cellar if one has a fondness for Super-Tuscan style reds.
Tasting Notes:
Blend 24 is not a bashful blend and represents the best of premium Cabernet Sauvignon and the noble Sangiovese. The 2010 Blend 24 is bold in flavor and offers a creative twist
on a Super Tuscan style wine. The aromatics offer a refined display of blue fruits, strawberry jam, and floral notes. This fruit driven wine reveals a rich fleshy palate of black cherry,
espresso and a sophisticated smoky finish that is layered and lingering.
