Clif Family x Reyna Noriega Red Wine Blend 2023
$50.00 / 750 ml
Cabernet aromatics jump from the glass with vibrant blackberries and blueberries. There is a burst of Zinfandel character on the entry with a bright cherry and light start, followed by medium weight tannins in the middle and a long, chewy finish reminiscent of Petite Sirah. I love this vintage of Reyna Red Wine for its balance and finesse, yet strength and power. Overall, the palate is chewy, broad and supple
