Welcome back “Red” … after an okay ’13 and ’14 version the 2015 Red is back with a vengeance, and why not, it was a better year for Bordeaux reds (which means the ’16 will be killer as well); so with 43% Cabernet Franc, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot – a 60/40 French to American oak ratio and the usual 6 months apart / 6 months together Red is showing really well, even at this early stage, with a rich mouthfeel, smoky mid-palate and spicy finish. You’ll also find vanilla, black cherry, white pepper and cocoa interlaced with well-balanced acidity. Price: $24.95 – Rating: **** ½
