Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Dark chocolate, blackberry, mint
and subtle notes of leather. A fruit forward, elegant red wine with balanced
tannins and a smooth finish.
Production Notes
The winter of 2013-2014 was one of the driest in California’s
history with Napa Valley receiving only half of its average
rainfall. But, with respect to grape quality, there was good
news: heavy rains in February and early March gave the vines
emerging from dormancy a rejuvenating boost. Furthermore,
the overall dry season resulted in smaller berry size with
concentrated characteristics that added depth to the fruit’s
inherent flavors.
Rhiannon Napa Valley is a proprietary red blend, including
these Bordeaux varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot,
and Malbec. Merlot imparts jammy fruit flavors and the Petit
Verdot and Malbec, with their refined tannins, enhance the
wine's soft, supple mouthfeel. Our winemaking team blends in
complimentary red varietals, then ages the wine in oak for
almost two years. We are proud to offer this well-balanced and
flavorful red wine exclusively to our winery guests and wine
club members.
Food Pairing Notes
Our 2014 Rhiannon Red Wine is deliciously versatile. Pair
with braised short ribs, Irish cheddar gratin, or a dark
chocolate mousse.
