| Winemaker’s Notes: |
Ranch Red is a blend of several varieties grown in our estate vineyard. A hearty, exuberant red, it exudes ripe berry jam, cinnamon spice and milk chocolate aromas with rich, zesty, blackberry and black raspberry flavors. Enjoy this robust red over the next several years with grilled steaks, pizza, red-sauce pastas and flavorful hard cheeses.
