Wine Review: This clear and dark red colored Merlot based blend from Cape May Winery opens with a wild strawberry and red plum bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and gentle. The flavor profile is plum and raspberry tea blend with notes of stone dust. I also detected hints of cedar. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and refined dusty tannins linger nicely. I would pair this approachable red blend with sauteed chicken with rosemary, craisin, and mushrooms. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: Crafted from the finest grapes of the Cape May Peninsula, our 2022 Estate Red Field Blend is a rich and complex expression of terroir. Aromas of ripe raspberries intertwine with hints of cocoa powder, leading into a palate bursting with bright fruit medley, juicy plum, and a strong acid backbone. Aged for 22 months in French oak, this blend of 56% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc finishes with a harmonious balance of acidity and tannin, accented by layers of spice and subtle smoke. Elegant yet structured, this wine is built to be savored.
