Dark Horse Red Blend - 750ml

This plush red blend is crafted from a thoughtful medley of Malbec, Syrah, Tempranillo, and Merlot, sourced from three distinct wine regions—Argentina, California, and Australia. The result is a richly layered wine that brings together both Old World structure and New World fruit. Deep in color with a glossy, inviting sheen, it opens with expressive aromas of dark berries, plum, and a hint of blackberry jam, underscored by subtle notes of violet, pepper, and a touch of vanilla from careful oak aging. On the palate, the wine delivers plush, velvety tannins and a supple mouthfeel that carry generous flavors of black currant, blackberry, and ripe plum, tempered by a whisper of of cacao and integrated spice. The Syrah influence adds a dusky pepper and smoky edge, while the Tempranillo adds brightness and a gentle earthiness that lifts the fruit rather than overpowering it. Merlot contributes roundness and smoothness, helping to knit the blend into a cohesive, balanced whole.

This wine's finish is long and satisfying, with lingering fruit and a delicate mineral note that hints at its diverse origins. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, aged cheeses, or rich tomato-based dishes. Enjoy now through a few years of further development with proper cellar conditions, or decant briefly to release its aromatic complexity.
