"The 2012 Red Blend checks in as 56% Cabernet Sauvignon and 44% Merlot that saw 20 months in 53% new French oak. From one of the top vintages in the past decade or more, this medium to full-bodied, impeccably balanced, nicely concentrated wine offers lots of ripe plum and darker fruits, as well as notes of smoked earth, chocolate and licorice.

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
