"Dark red fruit, flowers, mint, licorice and sweet spices meld together in the glass as the 2009 Red Wine shows off its personality. This is one of the more overt reds in the Matthiasson range, but next to the overwhelming majority of Napa Valley reds, the 2009 is still quite restrained and understated. The Red Wine is mostly Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with dollops of Petit Verdot and Malbec."
