Abacela Vintners Blend #10

Winery: Abacela

Abacela Vintners Blend #10 - Trying to combine 14 varietal wines in differing proportions to create a blend that is greater than the sum of its parts is both a challenge and a pleasure.

After extensive trials we chose this blend because it optimizes not only the taste and mouthfeel but elevates expressive aromatics of dark fruits, figs, and warm spices.

This well structured, moderately tannic wine, while excellent now, will improve with cellaring over the next three to five years. - the winery

#9 Vintage Tasting Notes

Excellent value, a full bodied blended red for everyday drinking. abundant blackberry, black currant, cherry and coffee aromas and flavors. The finish is dry and medium bodied with leather, mint, baked berry pie, and vanilla.

The food pairings for this wine are as varied as its component parts but try grilled bratwurst covered with mushrooms sauted in Dijon mustard, fennel, and red wine.
