The 2017 1849 Anonymous Napa Valley Red is a dark midnight purple with red hues. The nose is fruity rich with dark plum aromas. On the front this is a fruit forward wine. As the wine moves to the mid palate the flavors of black cherry, cassis and ripe blackberry are distinctly present creating a pleasantly complex combination of ripe fresh fruits with just a faint hint of barrel oak. The sip finishes with a mild lingering but refreshing sweetness. The finish of the Napa Valley Red Blend is long with a round, supple & lush mouth feel. The finish is lively & hearty with a rich, complex velvety finish.
