About the Wine
The 2016 River's Red is an easy drinking wine to enjoy with a variety of foods. The dominance of Merlot in the blend makes for a soft and supple wine, with varietals like Sangiovese and Syrah adding structure and balance. Chocolate covered cherries, violets and soft read fruit dominate the aroma and flavor, with supple tannins on the finish.
Blend: Merlot 37%, Malbec 28%, Sangiovese 16%, Cabernet Sauvignon 13%, Syrah 4%, Cabernet Franc 2%.
This complex yet approachable style pairs well with spicy sausage kabobs, rigatoni in a Bolognese sauce, and grilled steak.
