This red blend comes from Napa Valley producer Acacia, which sourced the grapes from various vineyards in California.
Acacia is known for its chardonnay and pinot noir wines grown in the Carneros region just north of San Francisco, but this selection comes from the Sonoma area.
This is a Rhone-style blend with syrah, grenache, mouvedre and a splash of viognier. It adds up to a soft and smooth wine layered with red fruit and delicate spice. There’s a lot of texture in this wine, which would pair well with grilled food or pasta. It’s a blend that is very approachable.
Sherry: “Smooth with lots of fruit flavors of strawberry, cherry and raspberry.” 3-1/2 stars
Chris: “Cedar notes; raspberry and cherry mint flavors.” 3-1/2 stars
Available locally for about $10.
Coming next week: Kendall Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
