Stephen Vincent, Crimson Red Blend (2018)

California, United States
Grapes: Petite Sirah, Syrah, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Merlot
As its name implies, Crimson has a deep red color. For Crimson, the winemaker blends grapes from the finest growing regions in California with an eye towards achieving a complexity that often can't be matched by single varietals. Made in the Rhone style, the Crimson has a rich nose of ripe, dark berries, dark chocolate, and a black tea mineral essence, followed by beautifully earthy ripe plum and blackberry flavors, accented with hints of cassis, and toasty French and American oak.
Stephen Vincent takes pride in their Crimson's dark red color. A product of old world winemaking knowledge, this Syrah/PetiteSirah/Cabernet blend has a spicy warm aroma that invites your first sip. The complex raspberry shows both the ripeness of the fruit and hints of French Oak. A luscious mouthfeel followed by a clean finish makes this wine a joy to drink and calls you back for more. This wine tends to be enjoyed by a wide range of people, both those that are knowledgeable about wine and people who just know what they like.
