VIGILANCE CIMARRON (RED BLEND) 2013 LAKE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

 

 

By:  Ed "The Wine Guy"


New to Harney's. Produced in Lake County in the north-central portion of California, adjacent on the east side to Mendocino, north of Napa, north-east of Sonoma. What a great location for a vineyard! 38% Zinfandel (spice and acidity), 25 Syrah (earthiness), 12 Petite Sirah (color and density), 20 Merlot (fruit), 5 Cabernet (tannins). Count them. Five red grapes, each contributing something distinctive to the seamless, harmonious blend. Cimmaron has aromas and flavors of blackberry, cherry, spices, with soft oak. Great with foods with barbecue sauce.
