Clendenen Family Vintners, Red Wine Blend "PIP" Central Coast, California 2019

After 20 years producing Clendenen Family wines, this is the estate's first red varietal blend: an unconventional assemblage of Merlot, Sangiovese, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. 

This masterful, dark red blend has an opulent nose of fresh cherries and spice that conceals its age. Leather, dark chocolate and truffle aromas emerge as the bouquet opens up. The broad flavor profile shows every type of cherry known: bitter, black, and even wild. The intensity is continuous from the first sip to bright finish.

Each varietal is aged 3 years in barrel. This is a spectacular value.
