Just before the World shut down two great friends and I visited Saddleback and spent a marvelous March afternoon tasting in the vineyard. This is a lovely fresh light red with great flavor. Much better in the vineyard 😎🍷

Nice bright red wine. Easy to drink. I found it even better on day two. Lots of mouth watering acid. Slight tart with a hint of spice on the finish. Savory red fruit. Cherries. Definitely a table pleaser. Nils Venge still makes great wine. Well after being the first 100pt American and the β€œKing of Cab.”

Nice easy drinking. Little hint of tartness on the finish, leaving a dry refreshing end. Opens up nicely bringing juicy red fruit with a hint of some spiciness.

Dusty cherry aroma with peppery notes. Bright cherry, spice, notes of leather and smoke.
