2018 The Paring Red Blend California

JD90 The 2018 Red Wine checks in as 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot. It’s a medium to full-bodied, ripe, rounded, nicely concentrated blend with lots of ripe currant and blackberry fruits as well as an herbal kick in its tobacco, earth, and ripe herb aromas and flavors. It’s ideal for drinking over the coming 5-7 years or more.
Producer Notes: Made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot respectively, this red blend is a cohesive representation of the sandy soils and cooler climates found in the vineyard sites The Paring works with throughout California. The wine is aged for 22 months in French oak, of which 55% is new.
