    2021 Desperada Sackcloth and Ashes (Paso Robles, CA) 9R

    The wine opens with a nose of redcurrants, cherries, pie spice, dried herbs, potpourri, underbrush, and wild herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and smooth, offering juicy, spicy fruit flavors alongside dark brambly berries, sweet cherry, vanilla, leather, and hints of cacao. The wine is structured with firm tannins, enriched by rich chocolate notes, purple fruit, and touches of lavender. The finish is long and spicy, leaving a satisfying conclusion to the tasting experience.

    About The Varietal

    Bordeaux Blend

    A red Bordeaux blend primarily consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, supplemented by smaller amounts of Malbec and Petit Verdot, with Carménère occasionally included. While the term naturally applies to all red wines originating from Bordeaux, it is also suitable for wines produced beyond the region, such as those from California, Washington, Argentina, and other locations.
