Wine Review: This midnight purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from McPrice Myers opens with an espresso and craisin bouquet with hints of red plum, leather, and wet stone. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and savory. The flavor profile is a craisin and tart red currant blend with notes of pomegranate and stony minerality. I also detected hints of black pepper and oak. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and mild tannins drift away nicely. I would pair this fruity Red Blend with your favorite juicy Angus burger. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Around the holiday dinner table in the Myers house, my grandmother would always look proudly around at her family all gathered around the dishes piled high with food, and say, "we are really living high on the hog, aren’t we?" This blend is in memory of my Grandma and her joy at seeing the family doing well. The 2023 displays black currants, blackberries, bramble spice, ripened blueberries, holiday baking spices, dark chocolate. Soft tannins and lifted fruit-filled aromatics make this a versatile red wine. Drink now through 2030.
